The Westmont Warriors are the athletic teams that represent Westmont College, located in Santa Barbara, California, in NCAA intercollegiate sports. Having moved its athletic programs from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics at the start of the 2023–24 season, the Warriors are currently in the second year of their transition into full NCAA Division II membership.

The Warriors are primarily members of the Pacific West Conference (PacWest), where 12 of its 15 athletics programs compete. The men's and women's indoor track and field programs are independents while the women's swimming and diving program is a member of the Pacific Collegiate Swim and Dive Conference.

On July 14, 2022, Westmont College has been notified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) that it was accepted into the multi-year membership process for Division II, while subsequently joining the (PacWest).[2] Before making this move, the Warriors had been long-time members of the Golden State Athletic Conference (GSAC) of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), where they had competed from 1986 to 2023.
