West Cheshire is a former parliamentary constituency, which returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

It was created upon the abolition of North Cheshire and South Cheshire in 1868 and the redivision of Cheshire into West Cheshire, East Cheshire, and Mid Cheshire. In 1885, all three were abolished, and Cheshire was re-divided into eight constituencies: Altrincham, Crewe, Eddisbury, Hyde, Knutsford, Macclesfield, Northwich and Wirral.
