Fredericton West-Hanwell (French: Fredericton-Ouest-Hanwell) was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It was first contested in the 2014 general election, having been created in the 2013 redistribution of electoral boundaries by combining portions of the Fredericton-Silverwood and York electoral districts.

The district included the southwestern part of the City of Fredericton as well as two adjacent communities: Hanwell and Kingsclear, and the Kingsclear First Nation.

Beginning with the 2024 New Brunswick general election, the constituency was redistributed into the new Fredericton South-Silverwood and Hanwell-New Maryland constituencies.
