Lindbergh is a small community known as a hamlet in Northern Alberta, Canada. It is part of the County of St. Paul No. 19.

This hamlet is located about 17 kilometers (10 miles) east of Highway 41. It is also about 77 kilometers (48 miles) northwest of Lloydminster.

The first people settled in Lindbergh around 1906. By 1911, the area had a ferry, a school, and a cemetery. In 1927, the CNR reached nearby Heinsburg. This led to a post office and a store moving to Lindbergh from Riverview.

In 1946, oil companies drilling near Lindbergh found salt. They then planned a new salt plant. This plant was finished in 1948.
