Dardanup West is a rural locality of the Shire of Dardanup in the South West region of Western Australia.[3][4]

Dardanup West is located on the traditional land of the Noongar people.[5][6] The word "Dardanup" is believed to be a variation of the Aboriginal word Dudingup, the meaning of which is unknown.[7]

The locality is home to the heritage listed Dardanup Park Homestead, which dates back to 1852. Originally built by Thomas Little, a pioneer settler, it was later home to Harry Venn, Western Australian Minister for Railways.[8]
