North West Leicestershire er et administrativt distrikt i Leicestershire i England. Administrasjonssenteret er Coalville.

Distriktet ble opprettet 1. april 1974 ved sammenslåing av Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Ashby Woulds, Coalville, Ashby-de-la-Zouch landdistrikt, Castle Donnington landdistrikt og Ibstock fra Market Bosworth landdistrikt. Distriktet dekker et areal på 279,33 km² og hadde 93 468 innbyggere i 2011.[1]

Nottingham East Midlands Airport ligger i distriktet. Det gjør også Castle Donington med Donington Park hvor det ligger en grand-prixbane og som brukes til musikkfestivaler.

Det har lenge vært bergverksdrift, etter blant annet kull, leire, grus og granitt, i distriktet. Alle kullgruver er nedlagt, men det er fortsatt grustak og steinbrudd i drift der.
