List of Australia Test cricket records against West Indies

This is a list of Australian Test cricket records against West Indies. It is based on the List of Australia Test cricket records, but concentrates solely on records dealing with the Australian Test cricket team, and any cricketers who have played for that team, against the West Indian Test cricket team. Australia played its first recognised Test cricket match against West Indies in December 1930, and the records listed here date from that time.
