'''Schilksee''' ({{IPA|de|ˈʃɪlkˌzeː|-|De-Schilksee.ogg}}) is a town on the Danish Wahld peninsula in the Kieler Förde. In 1959, the town was incorporated into the city of Kiel, therefore today sometimes named as '''Kiel-Schilksee''' ({{IPA|de|kiːl ˈʃɪlkˌzeː|-|De-Kiel-Schilksee.ogg}}).

The town is a popular vacation destination because of its beaches and houses several resorts.<ref name=PP>Porter & Prince, p. 482</ref>
