Clwyd West (Welsh: Gorllewin Clwyd) was a constituency in Wales represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election. Its last MP was David Jones of the Conservative Party, first elected at the 2005 general election and who also served as Secretary of State for Wales from September 2012 until July 2014.

The constituency was abolished as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales. Its wards were split between Bangor Aberconwy, Clwyd East and Clwyd North.
