Möriken-Wildegg is a municipality in the district of Lenzburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
==History== thumb|left|Reconstruction of the Late Bronze Age settlement at Kestenberg thumb|left|Aerial view of Möriken (1962) The area was settled in the Late Bronze Age. The hilltop settlement on the Kestenberg had at least two phases (approximately 1050 to 1000 BC and 850 BC.). In the more recent settlement, the buildings were built with logs and traces of constructions and traces of bronze casting were discovered. A Roman era wall at the Lehmgrube river indicates that there was a Roman farm in the area. Möriken-Wildegg is first mentioned in 1283 as de Moerinchon. In the High Middle Ages the village belonged to the Lords of Holderbank and then later to the Twingherrschaft of Wildegg.
