Stare Kiejkuty (German: Alt Keykuth) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Szczytno, within Szczytno County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.

It lies approximately 10 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Szczytno and 41 km (25 mi) south-east of the regional capital Olsztyn. 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.

The territory of the village includes the Ośrodek Szkolenia Agencji Wywiadu (Intelligence Agency Training Center), a restricted military area. Since 2005 it has attracted scrutiny as being a black site involved in the CIA's program of extraordinary rendition.
