The meridian 110° west of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, North America, the Pacific Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole.
In Canada, the meridian forms the boundary between Nunavut and the Northwest Territories north of the parallel 70° north and the entire boundary between Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In the United States, the meridian formed the western border of the historic and extralegal Territory of Jefferson.
