Maryborough West or West Maryborough (Irish: Port Laoise Thiar) is a barony in County Laois (formerly called Queen's County or County Leix), Ireland.

Maryborough is the former name of the town of Portlaoise, established in 1548 and named after Queen Mary I; it was given its current name in 1929.[citation needed]

Maryborough West is located in west-central County Laois, with the River Nore flowing through its southern part. Lough Ballyfin is the only lake of any size.

Maryborough East and West were in the Middle Ages the land of the Cinel Crimthann, an Irish clan with the surname Ó Duibh (Duffy or O'Diff).

Maryborough was originally a single barony; it was divided into East and West before 1807.
