New Territories West, or simply "NT West" is one of the geographical constituencies in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Located in the western part of New Territories in Hong Kong, it is the largest geographical constituencies in Hong Kong with Tsuen Wan District, Kwai Tsing District, Tuen Mun District, Yuen Long District and Islands District belonging to the constituency. Although New Territories West is not the official administration name in Hong Kong (while New Territories is the official name), many government departments use it as one of main regions for administration divisions.

The constituency was formed since the 1998 legislative election, replacing a number of single-member constituencies in 1995. These were New Territories West and New Territories South in the 1991 election with dual-seat constituency dual vote system and New Territories South, New Territories West, New Territories Central, New Territories Southwest and New Territories Northwest in the 1995 election. From 1985 to 1991, the seats were elected by the electoral colleges composed of the members of the district boards and Regional Council.

Below are all the members since the creation of the New Territories West constituency. The number of seats allocated to New Territories has been increased from 5 to 9 between 1998 and 2012 due to the enlargement.

The largest remainder method (with Hare quota) of the proportional representative electoral system was introduced in 1998, replacing the single-member constituencies of the 1995 election. Elected candidates are shown in bold. Brackets indicate the quota + remainder.
