Nordwestmecklenburg (Northwestern Mecklenburg) is a rural district (Landkreis) in the northwestern part of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. It is on the coast of the Baltic Sea and border with Schleswig-Holstein. The former district-free city of Wismar has been part and also capital of Nordwestmecklenburg since September 4, 2011.

The district was made in 1994 by joining the old districts Gadebusch, Grevesmühlen and Wismar, and also smaller parts of the districts Sternberg and Schwerin-Land.

The coat of arms was designed by the designer and heraldic Heinz Kippnick, and was granted on July 1, 1996.
