The Western Wisconsin Conference is a former high school athletic conference in west central Wisconsin. Founded in 1931 and disbanded in 1937, all members were affiliated with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association.

History

The Western Wisconsin Conference was formed by three large high schools in western Wisconsin in 1931: Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire and La Crosse Central. It was created to guarantee scheduled games for its member schools in response to the dwindling number of independent high schools in the area. Standings were no longer kept after 1937, but the three schools of the Western Wisconsin Conference continued to schedule games against each other on a yearly basis. In later years, all three schools became members of the Big Rivers Conference.
