Saskatoon West (French: Saskatoon-Ouest) is a federal electoral district in Saskatchewan, Canada, that was represented in the Canadian House of Commons from 1979 to 1988, and again in 2015.
This riding was created in 1976 from parts of Moose Jaw and Saskatoon—Biggar ridings.
It was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Kindersley—Lloydminster, Saskatoon—Clark's Crossing and Saskatoon—Dundurn ridings.
The riding was recreated for the 2015 election, mostly out of the portions of Saskatoon—Rosetown—Biggar and Saskatoon—Wanuskewin located in the city of Saskatoon.
