Datu Blah T. Sinsuat, officially the Municipality of Datu Blah T. Sinsuat (Maguindanaon: Inged nu Datu Blah T. Sinsuat; Iranun: Inged a Datu Blah T. Sinsuat; Tagalog: Bayan ng Datu Blah T. Sinsuat) and commonly known by its proposed name West Upi, is a municipality in the province of Maguindanao del Norte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 28,243 people.

Formerly a part of the town of Upi, Datu Blah T. Sinsuat became another municipality after a plebiscite on July 15, 2006, and pursuant to the Muslim Mindanao Act No. 198 of the ARMM. On October 28, it became a new municipality of the newly created Shariff Kabunsuan province until its nullification by the Supreme Court in July 2008. The orphaned municipality was absorbed by the province of Maguindanao.

This municipality is named after Datu Blah T. Sinsuat (1908-1981), Maguindanao's delegate to the 1935 Constitutional Convention and Cotabato's Lone District Representative to the 2nd Congress of the Philippines.
