Sil Wick, (HU294417 ), is a small inlet on the south side of the West Shetland Mainland, to the west of Skelda Ness.
The sea stack of Clett which lies just offshore has natural arches.

To the north of the wick is the settlement of Silwick, although most of the houses are now deserted.

In 1929 the Norwegian vessel Usetind was wrecked on the beach in Sil Wick.
