Risca West is a community and electoral ward ^[1] in Caerphilly County Borough. It is one of two communities to cover the town of Risca.^[2]

The community of Risca West was formed in April 2013, alongside Risca East, and the council was soon renamed to Risca Town Council.^[2] In 2023 a change was proposed to merge the community with the neighbouring Risca East to form a new Risca Community Council.^[3]

As of November 2021, Risca Town Council charged the highest council tax rate in Caerphilly County Borough.^[4]
