Western Victoria Region is one of the eight electoral regions in the state of Victoria, Australia, which elects five members to the Victorian Legislative Council (also referred to as the Upper House) by proportional representation. The region was created in 2006 by the 2005 reform of the Victorian Legislative Council.

It comprises the Legislative Assembly districts of Bellarine, Buninyong, Geelong, Lara, Lowan, Melton, Polwarth, Ripon, South Barwon, South-West Coast and Wendouree.

The current Western Victoria Region elected members at the 2014 state election. The Liberal Party and the Australian Labor Party won two seats each, while Shire of Moyne mayor James Purcell, under the banner of Vote 1 Local Jobs, won one.
