West Marsh is an area located in the northern part of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, England, lying close to the town centre. Its northern and eastern boundaries are formed by the Alexandra Dock, at its western edge is the Pyewipe industrial area and it is bordered in the south by the railway line and Cromwell Road.

It includes the National Fishing Heritage Centre, the Alexandra Retail Park, Alexandra Dock Business Centre and West Marsh Industrial Estate. The former passenger ferry Lincoln Castle was previously moored in the Alexandra Dock, however it has now been scrapped. The River Freshney runs through the middle of the West Marsh; situated on its north bank, off Corporation Road, are the Duke of York Gardens, known to residents of the area as the 'Boulevard' or 'Bully'.

Social activities are organised by the West Marsh Community Centre (Armstrong Street), the Macaulay Area Action Group (MAAG) (Haycroft Avenue) and St. Hugh's Community Centre (also Haycroft Street). MAAG has published a booklet written by Tim Mickleburgh about the history of the southern part of the West Marsh, between the River Freshney and Cromwell Road. This complements an earlier publication by Sadie Beal that dealt with the area north of the river. West Marsh Forward is a group, involving residents, which was set up to bring Neighbourhood Renewal Funding to projects in the area. Though NRF funding has now been withdrawn, the Forward continues as a focus for the area. Other organisations include the West Marsh Local History Group and Haycroft Gardening Club.

There was a quarterly community magazine from 2002 to 2008 called 'Riverside' produced and published by The Community Press Office Ltd and distributed free to 5,000 homes in the West Marsh area. A smaller magazine called 'East Meets West' now serves both the East and West Marsh. The Friends of the Freshney was set up in 2004, and holds litter-picks and other events to help improve the park and river.

Three churches are within the West Marsh area, Haven Methodist and the Christadelphians in Lord Street, and St Hugh's Anglican in Haycroft Street. Education is provided by the Littlecoates Primary (Harlow Street), Macaulay Infants/Junior and South Parade Infants/Junior schools.Through the support of former councillor Peter Barker, booklet was issued in late 2012 by Tim Mickleburgh entitled "A Short history of Littlecoates School".
