Wike is a hamlet north of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is in the City of Leeds metropolitan borough. The hamlet is situated north of Shadwell and Roundhay, west of Scarcroft and south of East Keswick. As well as those in Leeds, many people in Wike use amenities in the nearby town of Wetherby.
