West Horsley is a small village between Guildford and Leatherhead in Surrey, England. Neighbouring villages include East Horsley, Ockham, West Clandon and East Clandon. It lies on the A246. The Sheepleas Woods are located in the extreme south of the village.

West Horsley appears in Domesday Book of 1086 as "Orselei". It was held by Walter, son of Othere. Its domesday assets were: 8 hides; 1 church, 8 ploughs, woodland worth 20 hogs. It rendered £6. [ [http://www.gwp.enta.net/surrnames.htm Surrey Domesday Book] ]

The village church St Mary's Church dates from the 11th century; whilst West Horsley Place is a mediaeval house substantially developed in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. One of the victims of the railway murderers was killed in West Horsley in 1986, although Horsley Station just so happens to be in East Horsley.

West Horsley has two schools: The Raleigh (state) named after Sir Walter Raleigh whose son Carew lived at West Horsley Place, and Cranmore a Catholic prep school for boys.

The village lies equidistant between the stations of Clandon and Effingham Junction.

Shaun Wright-Phillips, the Chelsea and England midfielder lives in West Horsley.
