Monchy is a former settlement in Saskatchewan, Canada on the Canada–US border. Monchy is the transition point between Saskatchewan Highway 4 and U.S. Route 191. Originally a small settlement it is now primarily a border crossing. On the opposite side of the border in Morgan, Montana.

The border crossing is staffed by the Canadian Border Services Agency during the day and closed at night.[2] The border crossing consists of a customs building, residence and three storage buildings[3] Growing pressure exists on both the Canada and US side of the border to expand the border crossing to 24-hour operation,[4]
