Highway 265 is a provincial highway in the north-east region of Canadian province of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan's 200-series highways primarily service its recreational areas. The highway runs from Highway 120 to Highway 926 and is about 29 kilometres (18 mi) long.[1]

Highway 265 is the primary road through Candle Lake Provincial Park. Most of the section within the park runs along the western shore of Candle Lake and eastern shore of Torch Lake.[2] It services the communities of Candle Lake, Waskateena Beach, and Tel-Win. Several campgrounds are also accessible from the highway.[3]
