Waverley West is a city ward and suburb in southwest Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The area was approved by the Government of Manitoba in 2005, and is scheduled to be constructed over a 20-year period. With a projected population of 40 000 in 2009, the suburb, were it to be a separate city, would be the third-largest city in the province.
The ward falls into the broader Fort Garry area of Winnipeg.
