West Dean Rural District was a rural district in Gloucestershire, England from 1894 to 1974. It included a number of civil parishes from its establishment and gained further territory in 1935.

It was formed from the part of the Monmouth Rural Sanitary District that was in Gloucestershire (the rest, in Monmouthshire, becoming part of Monmouth Rural District).

The district was abolished in 1974 when its area became part of the Forest of Dean District, under the Local Government Act 1972.
