58°26′27″N 3°5′22″O / 58.44083, -3.08944 Wick (en gaélique : Inbhir Uige) est une ville portuaire au nord des Highlands, en Écosse. Située à l'estuaire de la Wick, c'est l'ancien chef-lieu du comté de Caithness. Elle compte environ 8 000 habitants.
Son nom vient du norrois vik signifiant « baie ».
Pulteneytown, qui s'était développée autour de pêcheries au sud de la rivière, fut fusionnée avec Wick en 1902.
La ville abrite Old Pulteney, la plus septentrionale des distilleries écossaises de whisky.
