We summarize and combine direct measurements of the mass of the W boson in √(s)=1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collision data collected by CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Earlier measurements from CDF and D0 are combined with the two latest, more precise measurements: a CDF measurement in the electron and muon channels using data corresponding to 2.2 fb^\ensuremath-1 of integrated luminosity, and a D0 measurement in the electron channel using data corresponding to 4.3 fb^\ensuremath-1 of integrated luminosity. The resulting Tevatron average for the mass of the W boson is MW=80387\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi16 MeV. Including measurements obtained in electron-positron collisions at LEP yields the most precise value of MW=80385\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi15 MeV.
