The '''[[stamps of Westarctica]]''' are the collection of commemorative stamps that have been issued by the central government of [[Westarctica]]. These stamps feature images of prominent Westarcticans as well as symbols of the nation and the flora and fauna found in Western [[Antarctica]]. Each set of stamps is printed in a limited amount and once the inventory of stamps have been sold, no more are created for that year, although there may be some partial reuse of designs in subsequent years.

Postage stamps were first created on 1 April 2005 and were released to the public by the central government on 20 April 2005 with the 80¢ Royal Wedding Stamp created to celebrate the wedding of [[Grand Duke Travis]] and the [[Marquise of Walgreen]] (the future Grand Duchess Cathryn). The denomination of 80¢ was selected because 80¢ was the cost of mailing a standard 8 1/2 x 11 envelope through the U.S. postal system. In this way, the commemorative Westarctican stamp could be placed beside the 80¢ U.S. stamp and both would be canceled together.
