The District Council of Munno Mara West was a local government area of South Australia on the central Adelaide Plains from 1854 to 1933.

The council was established in 1854, bringing local government to the western half of the Hundred of Munno Para, the District Council of Munno Para East having been formed the year before. At the time of its creation, the Munno Para West council area was bounded on the south by the Little Para River (which derives its name from the aboriginal term pari meaning "stream of flowing water") and on the north by the Gawler River and included the rural townships of Virginia, Smithfield, Penfield, Angle Vale, Salisbury North, St Kilda and Gawler Blocks, the latter being severed by the District Council of Gawler South in 1899 and later merged with the Corporate Town of Gawler.

The council was abolished in 1933, with part going to the Town of Gawler, part to the new District Council of Salisbury and the remainder merging with the expanded Munno Para East council.
