Kirsten Wild (born 15 October 1982) is a Dutch professional racing cyclist riding for Team Hitec Products. Wild competed in two track cycling events at the 2012 Summer Olympics. She finished sixth in the omnium, and was a member of the Dutch team that finished sixth in the team pursuit (together with Ellen van Dijk, Amy Pieters and Vera Koedooder). After two seasons with Team Hitec Products, in September 2016 Cylance Pro Cycling announced that Wild would join them for the 2017 season.

Wild was the last three times part of the 3000 m team pursuit squad when they established a new Dutch national record. She is together with Ellen van Dijk and Vera Koedooder the current national record holder, with a time of 3:20.013 (53.996 km/h) established at the 2012 Summer Olympics on 4 August 2012. After the 2011–12 track cycling season the UCI changed the discipline into a 4000 m team pursuit with four riders.
