New Galicia or West Galicia (Polish: Nowa Galicja or Galicja Zachodnia; German: Neugalizien or Westgalizien) was an administrative region of the Habsburg monarchy, constituted from the territory annexed in the course of the Third Partition of Poland in 1795. In 1803, it was merged with another constituent possession of the Habsburg monarchy, the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria.
The Austrian Empire lost West Galicia to the Duchy of Warsaw in 1809, following its defeat by Napoleon, at which point most of the territory became part of the Congress Poland.
