Paddockwood is a village in Saskatchewan, Canada. It was named after the town Paddock Wood in Kent, England.

In the early 1900s by a Mr. Fred Pitts emigrated to the lumberland of Canada. From a log cabin he built there as a home, he set up a post office, collecting letters and parcels on horseback for residents of the settlement. He named the settlement Paddockwood after the village he had left in England.
