St. John's West was a federal electoral district in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1949 to 2003.

This riding was created in 1949 when Newfoundland joined the Canadian Confederation.

It was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed into Avalon and St. John's South ridings.

In 1966, it was redefined to consist of the provincial districts of St. John's South, Ferryland, St. Mary's and Placentia East, and those parts of the provincial districts of St. John's West, St. John's North and St. John's Centre not included in the electoral district of St. John's East.
