Wic Kjellin (8 April 1914 – 9 March 1987) was a Swedish film editor. She edited more than a hundred films during her career.
Kjellin was employed at Europafilm where she worked for 30 years. At first she worked as an editing assistant, but as a 22-year-old she had to edit her first feature film, Our Boy. She went on to make six films with Göran Gentele and Vilgot Sjöman respectively, four for Jörn Donner and Jan Halldoff and two for Tage Danielsson and Mai Zetterling. She became a very important person in the film industry during the 1960s and 1970s, partly as a result of her work with Bo Widerbergs Barnvagnen (1963) and Kvarteret Korpen the same year.
