The state of Maryland and the Commonwealth of Virginia are to the east of West Virginia. Maryland is to the east of north-central West Virginia (and to the north and east of the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia). Virginia is somewhat to the east and southeast.

In all other respects, Pennsylvania is north of West Virginia.Side note: West Virginia is bordered to the West-Southwest by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
