Mid-West is an electoral district of the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The seat was created at the 2023 redistribution as the successor to the large but lowly populated rural electorates of Moore and North West Central. ^[1]

The seat was first contested at the 2025 state election. It was notionally held by the National Party on an 8.6% margin, and retained for the party by Shane Love. ^[1]
