Rocky Mountain House is a town in west-central Alberta, Canada, at the confluence of the Clearwater and North Saskatchewan Rivers.

Rocky Mountain House is a crossroads between a significant north-south artery, Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail) and east-west on Highway 11 (David Thompson Highway) between the City of Red Deer, Alberta and Jasper National Park and Banff National Park. Spectacular natural scenery with the nearby Rocky Mountains as a backdrop draws tourists and new residents alike. Currently a hub of petroleum transportation, local employment has spiked with the bulk of jobs involving oil and gas production. The town appears to be experiencing a significant economic expansion due to the high world price of oil. This economic boom has prompted several new larger department stores, such as Canadian Tire (2005), and Extra Foods (2006), as well as speciality shops opening at one of the highest growth-rates in recent memory. It has also helped lead to the establishment of the new Confluence Campus (2005), including the former Will Sinclair High School (now West Central High School), grades nine through twelve of Saint Matthew's Catholic School (now Saint Dominic's Catholic High School), and an off-campus section of Red Deer College.
