Westview is a suburban community in the Confederation Suburban Development Area (SDA) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Originally named "Tuxedo Park" by real estate developers in 1912, the area remained undeveloped until the 1960s. [1] The east half of Westview is located on land annexed by the city in 1911, while the western half did not become part of Saskatoon until 1960.

Unlike its Eastview counterpart, all street names don't begin with the word "West". The population of Westview was 3,441 in 2006.
The community was originally identified as Westview Heights, but the second word was dropped from the official community name in the 1980s.
