Makkabi Wilno (Hebrew: מועדון הכדורגל מכבי וילנה, romanizedMoadon HaKaduregel Maccabi Vilne) was a multi-sport Jewish club based in Vilnius. It was dissolved during World War II.

The Makkabi football team was founded in Vilnius in 1916. The club competed in the Klasa A of the Vilnius Regional Football Association (OZPN). In 1938, Makkabi's footballers won the regional championship and participated in the competition for a spot in the national first league against the top teams of the northeastern group, PKS Łuck (0-1, 1-5), WKS Grodno (0-1, 2-4), and Pogoń Brześć (0-3, 3-3). Makkabi finished last. The club was still active after the German invasion of Poland, as Vilnius was annexed by Lithuania, participating in the Vilnius competitions aimed at selecting teams to join the Lithuanian top league for the 1940/41 season, which ultimately did not happen due to the annexation of Lithuania by the USSR.

The club also had an athletics section. Among women, the most successful athlete was Maryla Lewinówna. In 1929, during the Polish Championships in the pentathlon, held in Vilnius, she set a Polish record in the shot put (11.07 m).[1]
