Die Wicken (Vicia) sind eine Pflanzengattung in der Unterfamilie Schmetterlingsblütler (Faboideae) innerhalb der Familie der Hülsenfrüchtler (Fabaceae). Die 160 bis 190 Arten sind hauptsächlich in den gemäßigten Gebieten der Nordhalbkugel verbreitet. Die gelegentlich als „Duft-Wicke“ oder „Gartenwicke“ bezeichnete Duftende Platterbse (Lathyrus odoratus) gehört nicht zur Gattung der Vicia, sondern ist eine Art der Gattung der Platterbsen (Lathyrus).
