New Galicia or West Galicia (Polish: Nowa Galicja or Galicja Zachodnia; German: Neugalizien or Westgalizien) was an administrative region of the Habsburg monarchy, constituted from the territory annexed in the course of the Third Partition of Poland in 1795.

The Austrian Empire lost West Galicia to the Duchy of Warsaw in 1809, following its defeat by Napoleon [1]
