Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire/Leicestershire 2 West was a tier 10 English Rugby Union league with teams from Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and the western region of Leicestershire taking part. Promoted teams moved up to Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire/Leicestershire 1 West and there was no relegation.
The division was created in 2000, along with its counterpart Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire/Leicestershire 2 East, following the splitting of the East Midlands and Leicestershire leagues and the subsequent merging of the Leicestershire and Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire leagues. After four seasons the league was discontinued following further restructuring and teams moved into the newly created Notts, Lincs, Derbyshire/North Leicestershire, Derbyshire/North Leicestershire and East Midlands/South Leicestershire 2 divisions.
