West Surrey will be a unitary authority area scheduled to be created in Surrey, England, by summer 2027. It covers a western half of the county of Surrey, including the county town of Guildford. It will replace Surrey County Council and six district councils, most of which had borough status and branding, from north to south: Spelthorne, Runnymede, Surrey Heath, Woking, Guildford, and Waverley.
Due to Spelthorne being in the historic county of Middlesex, some campaigners including Russell Grant have called for the authority to instead have the name "West Surrey and South Middlesex".
