Isle of Wight West is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[1] Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election, since when it has been represented by Richard Quigley for the Labour Party.

The Isle of Wight is granted two Members of Parliament under the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, as amended by the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Act 2011.[2] The constituency has been created alongside Isle of Wight East from the divided former Isle of Wight constituency.[3]

Quigley became the first ever Labour MP to represent the Isle of Wight, defeating Bob Seely, who had been MP for the whole island from 2017 to 2024.
