Wikispaces is a web hosting service (sometimes called a wiki farm) based in San Francisco, California. Launched by Tangient LLC in March 2005, Wikispaces was purchased by TSL Education in March 2014. It competes with PBworks, Wetpaint, Wikia, and Google Sites (formerly JotSpot). It was among the largest wiki hosts.

In September 2014, TSL Education announced that free hosting of non-educational wikis would cease. These wikis faced a 14 November 2014 shutdown deadline. Only wikis used exclusively in K-12 or higher education will remain free.

Private wikis with advanced features for businesses, non-profits and educators are available for an annual fee. Wikispaces has also given away more than 100,000 premium wikis to K-12 educators.

Since 2010 Wikispaces have cooperated with web 2.0 education platform Glogster EDU. Glogster EDU embeds Glogs into Wikispaces services.
