footnotes = Saddle Ridge is a residential neighbourhood in the north-east quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is located at the north-eastern edge of the city, and it is bounded to the north by 96 Avenue N, to the east by 68 Street E, to the south by McKnight Boulevard and to the west by 36 Street E. The Saddle Ridge Industrial Area and Calgary International Airport are located west of the neighbourhood.

The community initially consisted of acreages, with an active community association since the 1970s; in the late 1990s, urbanization of the region began and, today, Saddle Ridge primarily refers to the urban community that has developed around the commercial hub formed by Saddletowne Circle, although a number of acreages remain. The western portion of the area is called Saddle Ridge Industrial and is earmarked for future light industrial and commercial development.

It is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 3 Alderman Jim Stevenson.
