Red Deer is a city in central Alberta, Canada. It is located near the midpoint of the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor, and is Alberta's third most populous city - after Calgary and Edmonton. Red Deer is located in aspen parkland, a region of rolling hills focused on oil, grain, and cattle production. The city is a centre for oil and agriculture distribution, and the surrounding region is a major centre for petrochemical production.

Red Deer County surrounds the city.

The city takes its name from Red Deer River, a translation of was-ka-soo which means "elk river" in the Cree aboriginal language. Waskasoo is also a neighborhood overlooking the Red Deer River.
