Meath West is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects 3 deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 when the previous 5-seat Meath constituency was divided into two 3-seat constituencies of Meath East and Meath West.^[1] It was first used at the 2007 general election to the 30th Dáil. The town of Kells was moved to Meath East at the 2011 general election.

It spans the western portions of County Meath, including the towns of Trim and Navan, along with the north-eastern part of County Westmeath.^[2]

The Electoral (Amendment) (Dáil Constituencies) Act 2017 defines the constituency as:^[3]

"The county of Meath, except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of Cavan–Monaghan, Louth and Meath East, and the county of Westmeath, except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Longford–Westmeath."

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Meath West remain a three-seat constituency with the transfer of the part in County Westmeath to Longford–Westmeath.^[4]

For the next general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:^[5]

"The county of Meath, except the parts thereof which are comprised in the constituencies of Louth and Meath East."
