Conrad is a community in Yukon, Canada, located on the Klondike Highway. It is 14 km away from the Carcross, and also approximately 10 km from the British Columbia border.^[1]^[2]

Conrad was founded in 1905 by Colonel J.H. Conrad of the Conrad Consolidated Mining Company, and had about 300 residents at its peak. It was abandoned within a decade once falling silver prices drove the company into bankruptcy.^[3]

A new campground was opened on land adjoining the original town location in 2016.^[4]
