Schafer is an unincorporated area and the former county seat of McKenzie County, North Dakota, United States. The county seat was moved to Watford City, and is now a ghost town. However, the town would still have existed if not for a land dispute between the Schafer family and the Great Northern Railway. The railroad never laid tracks due to this, but grading was done to the Missouri River.
