Western Cabaret was a live variety programme series broadcast in 1939 on BBC Television. It was one of several spin-offs from the BBC series Cabaret. It was compered by "Big" Bill Campbell and produced by Harry Pringle. Four episodes were broadcast. The BBC television service was suspended on 1 September 1939 with the outbreak of World War II, and no further episodes were made.

The Radio Times said that the television studio "will be turned into a camp clearing, with a glowing camp-fire and log huts, and all the artists will be introduced as though they were part of the place".

No episodes have survived.
