Riverhurst is a village in the south-west Coteau Hills area of Saskatchewan, Canada and is north of Vermillion Hills. It is primarily a farming community.

Riverhurst is situated close to the east bank of Lake Diefenbaker, and is the location of the Riverhurst Ferry, a cable ferry that crosses the lake to Lucky Lake on the west bank. Highway 42 (which provides access to the community) crosses Lake Diefenbaker by the Riverhurst Ferry. The village is located 8km south of the Elbow crater.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Constable Thomas Brian King (who was shot to death in Saskatoon) lived in Riverhurst.
