Westview is a suburban community in the Confederation Suburban Development Area (SDA) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Originally named "Tuxedo Park" by real estate developers in 1912, the area remained undeveloped until the 1960s. The east half of Westview is located on land annexed by the city in 1911, while the western half did not become part of Saskatoon until 1960.

The majority of development occurred in the 1970s and 1980s (although the neighbourhood, with the more-or-less current street layout, had appeared on city street maps as early as 1961). The neighbourhood was finally completed in the late 1990s. Located in what was at the time the northwest corner of the city, the neighbourhood was on the city's western edge, giving its residents a true "West view". Unlike its Eastview counterpart, all street names don't begin with the word "West". The population of Westview was 3,441 in 2006.

The community was originally identified as Westview Heights, but the second word was dropped from the official community name in the 1980s.

The Westview neighbourhood is bounded to the north by 37th Street, Circle Drive on the east and Junor Avenue on the west and 33rd Street to the south.

The population of Westview was 3,441 in 2006, with an average family income of $54,374. The average household size is 2.8 residents, and approximately 60.8% of the residents own their own home. According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2013 was $316,200.

Westview exists within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon-Wanuskewin. It is currently represented by Maurice Vellacott of the Conservative Party of Canada, first elected in 1997 and re-elected in 2000, 2004 and 2006.

Provincially, the area is within the constituency of Saskatoon Massey Place. It is currently represented by Cam Broten of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, first elected in the 2007 general elections, replacing long-time veteran MLA Eric Cline.
