West Kildonan Collegiate (shortened to WKC, also commonly referred to as WKCI, West K, or "Weskay") is a high school in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is part of the Seven Oaks School Division, and houses grades 9-12.

It is well known for its volleyball program, which has won several Provincial Championships.

The school decided in June 2007 to change the school's name from "West Kildonan Collegiate Institute" to simply "West Kildonan Collegiate", dropping the Institute part of its name. The students of West Kildonan are scheduled to move into a new school building in March 2008. The new school is located in a new sub-division called River Ridge, which is near the sub-divisions of Rivergrove and Riverbend. The new school is located on Ridgecrest Avenue, off Main Street.
