Xtra Vancouver (ISSN 1198-0613), formerly Xtra! West, was a gay biweekly newspaper, published by Pink Triangle Press in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Printed on newsprint in tabloid format from its establishment in 1993, Pink Triangle Press announced on January 14, 2015 that the paper edition will be discontinued and the publication will continue in an exclusively digital media format.[1]

Xtra! West was founded in July 1993. It has become Vancouver's largest and most widely read publication targeting Vancouver's gay and lesbian community. The publication has a current circulation of 20,000 copies and reaches 32,000 readers.

The publication's offices are located in the Davie Village neighbourhood, Vancouver's gay village.

The managing editor since 2005 is Robin Perelle. Gareth Kirkby was the managing editor from 1996 to 2005. In 2008, Brandon Matheson became publisher, succeeding Ken Hickling who was publisher from 1999.

In March 2010, Xtra! West was rebranded Xtra Vancouver with the launch of a redesign in the Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver markets.

The publication's final print edition was published on February 12, 2015.
