深紅色的州份通常視為西部;帶有條紋的州份則有時被認為不在西部的範圍內

美國西部(英語:Western United States)泛指美國西部各。由於美國自建國以來疆域多次向西擴展,因此美國西部的定義也隨著時代而變化。一般多以密西西比河作為美國東西部的分界線。如果采用廣義的定義,美國西部占去了美國一半以上的領土。美國西部包括了自路易西安納購地中獲得的土地、1818年自英國獲得的土地、德克薩斯州加入美國時的土地、1846年自英國獲得的土地、1848年墨西哥割讓予美國的土地及蓋茲登購地中獲得的土地。

美國西部本身又可再細分為不同的地域。亞利桑那州科羅拉多州加利福尼亞州新墨西哥州內華達州俄克拉荷馬州德克薩斯州猶他州又被視為美國西南部。而蒙大拿州懷俄明州愛達荷州俄勒岡州華盛頓州則是美國西北部

此外,華盛頓州、俄勒岡州和加利福尼亞州三州位於太平洋沿岸,又稱為美國西岸
