Eyebrow (2016 population: 119) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of Eyebrow No. 193 and Census Division No. 7. The community originated at the location that is now the abandoned community of Eskbank several kilometres to the south. Eyebrow is located at the intersection of Highway 367 and Highway 42; 84 km northwest of Moose Jaw, 154 km northwest of Regina and 196 km south of Saskatoon.

A post office was established in 1904 called Eyebrow Hill located just south in Sec.12, Twp.20, R.2, W3 of the Dominion Land Survey. Eyebrow Hill was renamed Eskbank in 1908. The post office of Eyebrow Station (Sec.24, Twp.21, R.2, W3) was established in 1908 then was renamed Eyebrow six months later.[1] Eyebrow incorporated as a village on January 8, 1909.[5]
