Kalkee is a locality in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia. Kalkee is located on the Blue Ribbon Road, 319 kilometres (198 mi) north west of the state capital, Melbourne and 17 kilometres (11 mi) north of the regional centre of Horsham.

The area consists of flat cropping and grazing farmland. Kalkee has a successful Australian Rules football team and a netball team. Cricket and tennis are also played at the Kalkee Recreation Reserve. The adjacent Blue Ribbon Speedway holds motorsports events attracting crowds from the entire Wimmera region. Kalkee once had a church and a primary school but have since closed due to a lack of population.

In 2012 Kalkee Football Club won the Horsham and District Football League Grand Final. Ben Webster kicked five goals for Kalkee, including a miraculous snap over his head.
