Stare Kiejkuty [ˈstarɛ kʲɛi̯ˈkutɨ] (German: Alt Keykuth) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szczytno, within Szczytno County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Szczytno and 41 km (25 mi) south-east of the regional capital Olsztyn. Before 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia).

It is an old small village lying near road DK58, between two lakes: Wałpusz and Starokiejkuckie, popular vacation spots in the summertime with many vacation properties.

Close to the village is Stare Kiejkuty intelligence base, which has attracted worldwide scrutiny for indications that it has been involved in the CIA's program of extraordinary rendition.
