The Western Tasmanian Football Association was an Australian Rules Football competition based on the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia.
The competition was made up of mostly miners living and working on the State's West Coast.
Of all the clubs that participated in the competition, only Queenstown Football Club (now nicknamed the Crows) and Rosebery-Toorak Football Club remain in existence, participating in competitions on the North West Coast.
There was an earlier named entity proposed in the 1890's.
In 1976, the WTFA absorbed the surviving clubs from the Murchison Football Association. The Lyell Football Club and the Gormanston Football Club merged in 1976 and formed Lyell-Gormanston Football Club.
Rosebery Football Club and Toorak Football Club merged in 1987 forming the Rosebery-Toorak Football Club.
