Westby is a rural community in the central east part of the Riverina. It is situated by Westby road, about 9 kilometres south east of Pulletop and 18 kilometres north of Little Billabong.
Westby was once the site of a railway station and terminus of the Westby railway line. Due to damage from a bushfire the last train to Westby was in January 1952. Services to Mangoplah, 20 kilometres to the north east, continued until the line was formally closed in July 1956.
