Western Virginia is a geographic region in Virginia comprising the Shenandoah Valley and Southwest Virginia. Generally, the Appalachian areas in Virginia located west of the Piedmont region are considered part of western Virginia, though sometimes bordering areas of the Piedmont are included as well.

The United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia covers most of the state's land area, and includes most cities and counties in central and southern Virginia. By this definition, nearly all places in the state located west of the coastal plain, would be considered western Virginia.
