Aarhus Vest (lit.: Aarhus West) or Aarhus V, is a postal district in the city of Aarhus, consisting of Hasle, Herredsvang, Møllevangen and Frydenlund.

Built primarily in the 1940s, Møllevangen has many four-storey apartment blocks in red or yellow brick, but also larger detached house areas and several townhouses. The area is situated close to Aarhus Botanical Gardens and the shopping mall of Storcenter Nord. Møllevangen has two churches, a school and a nursing and retirement center.

The skyline of Møllevangen, is dominated by one of the only brick-constructed highrises in the country; a 16 story red apartment block in the neighbourhood of Charlottehøj. In the northwest, lies the residential area of Finnebyen; a well defined neighbourhood of 122 colourful wooden houses from Finland, established in 1947-48 to address the increased housing needs after World War II. Finnebyen will perhaps be granted a local conservation status in the near future. In the west, there are large playing fields for association football and athletics and beyond that, a large association of allotments.

This is a detached housing area from the 1920s, south of Charlottehøj. In the east there are two dormitories, one of which is dedicated to descendants of members of the Danish resistance movement during the German occupation. There is a public memorial grove for Danish Nazi Concentration Camp prisoners in association with the dormitory grounds here. Business Academy Aarhus is situated on the outskirts of the neighbourhood, at the heavily trafficked meeting point of Viborg Vej and the Ring 1 ring road.
