The Cantonese Wikipedia ( _zh. 粵語維基百科) is the Cantonese language edition of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. It started on 25 March 2006.

As a small community, from early on, Cantonese wikipedians have formed the consensus to follow by default the policies, guidelines, and customs of the English Wikipedia, wherever they are applicable. This consensus has provided stability and allows wikipedians to concentrate on the content. As of August 1, 2008, the Cantonese Wikipedia has over 190000 edits, over 8500 articles, and more than 6100 registered users, 11 of whom are administrators.

Cantonese is one of the five regional Chinese tongues to have its own Wikipedia. The other four are: Minnan Wikipedia (), Mindong Wikipedia (), Wu Wikipedia (), and Hakka Wikipedia (). It is also the second largest Wikipedia edition of Chinese languages (including Classical Chinese Wikipedia).
