The City of West Torrens is a local government area in the western suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. Since the 1970s the area was mainly home to many open spaces and parks, however after the mid-1990s (1993-1995) the LGA became more residential.

It absorbed the former Corporate Town of Thebarton on 1 March 1997, briefly being renamed the "City of West Torrens Thebarton" before reverting to its original name several months later.[2][3]
