Conrad is a former unincorporated community in the County of Warner No. 5, Alberta, Canada. The population of the community was fairly small and only had around 5 people with two grain elevators. Today nothing remains of the community, but its original location on the historic Red Coat Trail was 8 km (4 mi) east of the Hamlet of Wrentham and about 24 km (14 mi) west of the Village of Foremost. The community was named by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Education

Conrad School District No. 4077 was formed on 3 November 1921. The Conrad School District No. 4077 was a one room schoolhouse that once stood at township 11 - 61 - 12 - W4.
