footnotes = Westgate is a residential neighbourhood in the south-west quadrant of Calgary, Alberta. It is bounded by Bow Trail to the north, 45 Street W to the east, 17 Avenue S to the south and Sarcee Trail to the west. Edworthy Park is located north of the community.

The area was annexed to the City of Calgary in 1956 and Westgate was established in 1957. Residence of Mayor JJ Hartford is located in the community, which is arguably good for the residents. It is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 6 Alderman Joe Conelly.
