Highway 27 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The highway runs from Highway 41 west of Aberdeen east to Highway 2 near the western shore of Muskiki Lake. It is about 34 kilometres (21 mi) long.

The highway provides access to Prud'homme and Vonda.

History

The present-day Highway 27 is part of the original Provincial Highway 5 alignment, a trans-provincial highway that travelled from Manitoba to Alberta and crossed the South Saskatchewan River via ferry, while Provincial Highway 27 connected Aberdeen with Saskatoon. In the late 1940s, the highway 5 and 27 designations were switched so that Provincial Highway 5 passed through Saskatoon.
