Ledger is an unincorporated community in Pondera County, Montana, United States. Ledger is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) northeast of Conrad. The community had a post office until December 17, 2005; it still has its own ZIP code, 59456.^[2][3]

The post office opened in 1916 under the name Esper. The name changed in 1917 to Ledgerwood in honor of local resident Dan Ledgerwood. Since North Dakota already had a Ledgerwood, some residents shortened the name to Ledger.^[4]
