Kelly West is a deeply eroded impact crater situated in the central Northern Territory, Australia. It was discovered during Government geological mapping and first reported in 1973, the evidence for impact coming principally from an abundance of shatter cones at the site.{{cite journal | author=Tonkin PC | title=Discovery of shatter cones at Kelly West near Tennant Creek, Northern Territory, Australia | journal=Geological Society of Australia, Journal | volume=20 | issue= 1| year=1973 | pages=99–102 | doi=10.1080/14400957308527900 | bibcode=1973AuJES..20...99T }}
