The West India Regiments (WIR) were infantry units of the British Army recruited from and normally stationed in the British colonies of the Caribbean between 1795 and 1927.

Em 1888, os dois regimentos das Índias Ocidentais então existentes foram reduzidos a uma única unidade de dois batalhões. Este regimento diferia de forças semelhantes levantadas em outras partes do Império Britânico, pois fazia parte integrante do Exército Britânico regular. Em 1958, um novo regimento foi criado após a criação da Federação das Índias Ocidentais com o estabelecimento de três batalhões, entretanto, a existência do regimento durou pouco e ele foi dissolvido em 1962, quando seu pessoal foi usado para estabelecer outras unidades na Jamaica e em Trinidad e Tobago.
