The Westman Region (also known as Western Manitoba or simply Westman) is an informal geographic region of the Canadian province of Manitoba located in the southwestern corner of the province.

Brandon is the largest urban centre in the Westman Region. Primary economic industries in the region include agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, education, petroleum, transportation, and tourism. Riding Mountain National Park and eight provincial parks are located within the Westman Region.

Together with the Parkland Region to the north, Westman composes the broader Prairie Mountain health region,[2] and is provided healthcare services by Prairie Mountain Health.[3] As of 2016, the Westman Region had a population of 113,618 people, making it the most populous area of Manitoba outside of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region.
