Clayton Park West is a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elects one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The riding was created in 2012 with 61 per cent of the former district of Halifax Clayton Park, 18 per cent of the former district of Bedford-Birch Cove and 1 per cent of the former Hammonds Plains-Upper Sackville.

This district is home to Mount Saint Vincent University and a collection of big-box stores at Bayers Lake Business Park. Several new subdivisions have been built here in recent years. The riding is primarily residential, containing new single-family homes and high-density apartment complexes favoured by people moving into the city for the first time. Clayton Park is one of the fastest growing and ethnically diverse districts in the province.
