Robbie West (born 7 March 1969) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the West Coast Eagles and Footscray in the AFL.

Despite making his debut for West Coast in 1991 he never had an extended stay in the side until 1993. He managed just three games in his first two seasons due to the strength of the West Coast side in the early 1990s and instead played most of his football with West Perth in the WAFL. In 1992 he won a Sandover Medal as well as West Perth's Fairest and Best award.

West's most successful year in the AFL came in 1993 when he played 10 games and the following year he crossed to Footscray for one season.

In 1995 he joined Port Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League and played 25 games, was part of the premiership team, and won the club's best and fairest award in that year. Tragically, West was the victim of a vicious assault that left him fighting for his life. West recovered and after rehabilitation played for Port Adelaide again in 1997, playing 7 league games and 14 reserves games. Not surprisingly, West never regained his form of 1995, but it was a major feat that he was able to recover and return to league football.
