St George West is an electoral ward in the St George neighbourhood of Bristol, England. It is located in the outer east of the city of Bristol, covering St George Park, the upper end of Church Road (from the junction at Avonvale Road to just beyond the Fountain), Plummers Hill and parts of Crofts End to the north, down to the River Avon to the south, and includes part of Redfield in the south-west.^[3]^[4]

Boundaries for Bristol electoral wards were redrawn ahead of the 2016 United Kingdom local elections, following years of population growth. St George West reduced in area and became a single-councillor ward, with parts of the electorate transferring to St George Central and St George Troopers Hill to the east.

For elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom, St George is in Bristol East constituency. As of 2024^[update] the constituency is represented by Kerry McCarthy MP (Labour).^[5]
