The Westaue is a 12.5 km long left tributary of the Leine in the district of Schaumburg and in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony.

The Westaue is the continuation of the Sachsenhäger Aue from the tributary of the Rodenberger Aue east of Auhagen and south of the Steinhuder Meer in the district of Schaumburg. After about 800 m it crosses the district border and flows through Mesmerode, Bokeloh, Wunstorf, Blumenau and Liethe.

The Westaue flows into the Leine between Liethe and Bordenau.

The almost 13 km long Westaue has only 3 other tributaries: the Osterriehe, the Mordgraben and the Südaue, which has its source near Barsinghausen in the Deister. Water from the Deister, the Süntel, the Bückeberg and the Rehburger mountains flows into the Leine through the three floodplains that the Westaue absorbs.

It received its embanked river bed north of the old town of Wunstorf through the diversion and closure of the southern and northern floodplains (on the southern and northern walls of the old town) and the removal of the mill jam (on the northern wall for the Langhorst water mill) in the 1970s. This regulation of the river ended the previously frequent flooding of parts of the old town.
