The Western United States (also called the American West, the Far West, and the West) is the region comprising the westernmost states of the United States.

The U.S. Census Bureau's definition of the 13 westernmost states includes the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin to the Pacific Coast, and the mid-Pacific islands state, Hawaii.
