Western National was a bus company operating in South West England from 1929 until the 1990s.

In the lead up to deregulation, in January 1983 Western National was divided into four companies:

• Devon General Limited in the old Devon General area in south and east Devon
• North Devon Limited trading as Red Bus in North Devon
• Southern National Limited in Somerset and Dorset
• Western National Limited in Cornwall and Plymouth

Today almost all of the operations of the original Western National and Southern National companies are part of firstgroup. The only exceptions are the old Gloucestershire area, now part of Stagecoach West, and the small Swanage depot, now part of the Go-Ahead Group's Wilts & Dorset.
