Brocket is a settlement in Peigan 147, in southern Alberta located on Highway 3 between Pincher Creek and Fort Macleod. It is the main community on the Piikani Nation reserve.

The community takes its name from Brocket Hall, in England.[1]

In April 2010, the Buffalo Skull Lodge opened in Brocket housing Piikani Traditional Knowledge Services, which works to preserve Piikanissini, the traditional way of life of the Piikani people.[2]
