Saas-Almagell is a municipality in the district of Visp in the canton of Valais in Switzerland .

Saas-Almagell is first mentioned in 1291 as Armenzello. In 1307 it was mentioned as Almenkel.

The settlement, at the upper end of the Saastal , was relatively isolated for much of its history. A road suitable for motor vehicles was completed in 1948, whilst the village did not have its own school until 1958. The local economy was boosted in the 1960s by the construction of the Mattmark Dam.
