West Coast, Administrative division in northwestern Sabah, Malaysia

The West Coast Division extends across 7,588 square kilometers of northwestern Sabah, containing districts like Ranau, Kota Belud, Tuaran, Penampang, Papar, and Kota Kinabalu.

The administrative structure originated from the North Borneo Chartered Company, which established two residencies that transformed into divisions after Malaysia formed in 1963.

The population includes multiple indigenous groups such as Bajau, Bisaya, Bruneian Malay, Dusun, Illanun, Kadazan, and Kedayan communities alongside Chinese residents.

Kota Kinabalu International Airport serves as the primary transportation hub, while Kota Kinabalu Harbour processes over 4 million freight tonnes annually.

The division manages thirty percent of Sabah's population within just ten percent of the state's total land area.
