West Marsh is an area located in the northern part of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. It lies close to the town centre and is bounded by the Alexandra Dock. At its western edge is the Pyewipe Industrial Estate. Nearby is the National Fishing Heritage Centre, also the Alexandra Retail Park and Alexandra Industrial Estate. Off Corporation Road, on the banks of the River Freshney, are the Duke of York Gardens, known locally as the 'Boulevard'. Social activities are organised by the West Marsh Community Centre (Alexandra Road), the Macaulay Area Action Group (MAAG) (Haycroft Avenue) and St. Hugh's Community Centre (also Haycroft Street). There is a quarterly community magazine called 'Riverside', which is distributed free to 5,000 homes in the West Marsh area. The Friends of the Freshney was set up in 2004, and holds litter-picks and other events to help improve the park and river.

Two churches are within the West Marsh area, the Haven Methodist in Lord Street, and St. Hugh's Anglican in Haycroft Street.
