Wandearah West is a locality in South Australia located on the east coast of Spencer Gulf about 179 kilometres (111 mi) north-west of the Adelaide city centre and about 22 kilometres (14 mi) south of Port Pirie.[3]

Its boundaries were created in June 1995 for the “long established name.” The name was derived from the cadastral unit in which the locality is located - the Hundred of Wandearah.[2]

As of 2015, land within the locality was zoned for agriculture while a strip of land along its coastline was zoned for conservation.[7][2]

Wandearah West is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Frome and the local government area of the Port Pirie Regional Council.[5][4][2]
