Dundonald is a neighbourhood located in the northwest corner of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The neighbourhood was built in the 1980s, and served as the last development of the northwest corner of the city, prior to the development of Hampton Village.

The land was annexed for Dundonald between 1975 and 1979, and construction began in the early to mid 1980s and reached full build out in the mid-1990s .^[4] The community is named after Dundonald Avenue, a major arterial street that for years marked the western boundary of development in Saskatoon. The construction of the Circle Drive freeway resulted in Dundonald Avenue being removed between 11th and 33rd Streets. This left behind two segments of the roadway (Dundonald Avenue North and Dundonald Avenue South), with the northern segment forming the eastern boundary of the Dundonald community. When construction got underway on the neighbourhood, however, the northern stretch of Dundonald Avenue was renamed Junor Avenue in honour of Don Junor, a longtime businessman and civic leader in Saskatoon who was also a city councillor, which fit the criteria for street naming in the community (see below).

The name Dundonald was also at one point assigned to a proposed Dundonald Suburban Centre where 22nd Street intersected with Dundonald Avenue/Circle Drive.^[5] This ultimately evolved into the Confederation Suburban Centre. Prior to that, however, Dundonald was also plotted as a potential neighbourhood in the 1913 planning document by City Commissioner Christopher J. Yorath, approximately where the final community is today.

33rd Street is to the south and 37th Street to the north, and whereas these two streets run parallel to each other, there are no other numbered streets throughout the neighbourhood, Originally the grid layout was going to continue before the city decided to develop with the crescents and cul-de-sac layout instead. This neighbourhood constructed in the 1980s abandoned the grid style of road layout, leaving 33rd & 37th Streets the remaining numeric ones in the neighbourhood. Junor Avenue marks the eastern boundary and Hughes Drive serves as the western boundary, while 37th Street is the northern boundary and 33rd Street serves as the southern boundary.

The street names honour former City councillors.^[13]
