Don Valley West is a provincial electoral district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It elects one member to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
It was created in 1999 from parts of Don Mills, York Mills, York East and Eglinton.
The riding was particularly notable in the 2007 election because John Tory, who at the time was leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, was defeated by his Liberal opponent Kathleen Wynne. In February, 2013, Wynne became Premier of Ontario.

Boundaries
