The Western Division of Fiji is one of Fiji's four divisions. It consists of the three provinces Ba, Nadroga-Navosa and Ra.

The capital of the division is Lautoka. The division includes the western part of the largest island in Fiji, Viti Levu, with a few outlying islands, including the Yasawa Islands, Viwa, Waya and Velulele. It has a land border with the Central Division on Viti Levu, and sea borders with the Northern Division and Eastern Division.

The Western Division includes most of the Burebasaga Confederacy and a small part of the Kubuna Confederacy, two of the three hierarchies to which Fiji's chiefs all belong. The nonconformity between the boundaries of the divisions and confederacies does not affect administration, as their functions are different.

Remote Conway Reef (Ceva-I-Ra), located 450 km to the southwest, iy part of Western Division.
