Pikillaqta also spelled Piki Llacta, Pikillacta, Piquillacta, Piquillaqta) is a large Wari culture archaeological site 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Cusco in the Quispicanchi Province.

Pikillaqta is a village of the Wari people. Wari was the centre village and other cities like Pikillaqta were influenced by it. The Wari also inhabited many other sites around the area. The site was occupied from about 550 to 1100 AD. Its main use was for ceremonies and the site was not complete when it was abandoned.

The Pikillaqta site is located in low ridges in the eastern Valley of Cusco. The area is hilly with no rivers, but small lakes are located near the complex. The area is grassy, rocky, and sandy where the buildings were constructed. The site is 3,250 meters above sea level and is in the Lucre Basin.
