Sioux Lookout is a town in northern Ontario, Canada. It has a population of 5,336. It is serviced by the Sioux Lookout Airport, Highway 72, and a Via Rail station.

There are a number of fishing camps in the area that allow access to an extensive lake system fed by the English River.

The town figures prominently in the novel The Cunning Man by Robertson Davies, as well as the 1952 novel Crazy White Man: Sha-ga-ne-she Wa-du-kee by Richard Morenus.

Present day Sioux Lookout was incorporated in 1912 and was then a terminal point on the National Transcontinental Railway. For many years, Sioux Lookout was simply a railway town. Now, the Canadian National Railway is a significant employer, but it is no longer the base of the municipality’s economy. The forest industry is an important part of the economy. Its inherent instability is partly offset by the stability of the service sector. As a result, Sioux Lookout barely felt the effects of the recession of the early 1980’s. Tourism makes a significant contribution to the economy, but its potential is just beginning to be tapped.

Urban Sioux Lookout fronts on Pelican Lake, and the municipality undertook a lakefront improvement program to beautify this area. There are now more parks, paths, and other recreational facilities along the lakefront. Numerous other lakes are easily accessible by car or boat from Sioux Lookout.
