Tung Chung West Station (Trad. Chinese: 東涌西站) is a proposed MTR terminus of Tung Chung Line at the west of Tung Chung, Lantau Island, New Territories, Hong Kong, which is next to Tung Chung Station. When Yat Tung Estate (Trad. Chinese: 逸東邨) in Tung Chung West was occupied, MTR Corporation and Hong Kong SAR Government still claimed to reserve a site to build the station. Due to insufficient population in there, the station was not constructed so far.
On 18 February 2009, the government replied to the Legislative Council that a decision or timetable for Tung Chung West Station was not available for the time being.
In 2013, Tung Chung West Extension was mentioned in the Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000, after the Government launched the "Tung Chung New Town Extension Study" in 2012 to further expand and develop Tung Chung New Town.

“With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It’s all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.”
