Västerstad (på dansk: Vestersted [1]) er en landsby og sogn i Fers herred i Skåne.
Den 8. oktober 1678 i Skånske krig blev en styrke af skånske friskytter under kommando af Simon Andersen omringet i Vestersted præstegård og massakreret af svenskerne, [2] og i 1996 blev der rejst en mindesten for at ære deres minde. [3]
Vestersted er også kendt for at Peter Wieselgren startede afholdsbevægelsen i Norden i byen, men det drejede sig mere om at kunne have en fest, uden at kaste op bagefter, end om absolutisme. [4]
