Clwyd West (Welsh: Gorllewin Clwyd) was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (at Westminster). It elected one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post method of election. Its last MP was David Jones of the Conservative Party, first elected at the 2005 general election and who also served as Secretary of State for Wales from 4 September 2012 until 14 July 2014.
The constituency was abolished as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales. Its wards were split between Bangor Aberconwy, Clwyd East and Clwyd North.[2]
