The Microregion of Frederico Westphalen ( Brazilian Portuguese: Microrregião de Frederico Westphalen) was one of the Microregions of the Rio Grande do Sul state, in Brazil. It belonged to the mesoregion of the Noroeste Rio-Grandense. [1] Its population was estimated by the IBGE to be of 175,391 in 2005, divided in 27 municipalities. Its total area is 5,182.529 km².
