The Kölner Eisklub (KEK) is an ice sports club in Cologne, Germany.

The ice hockey section debuted during the 1947-48 season, playing in the German Championship. They then went on to play three seasons in the newly-founded Oberliga, before being relegated to the Landesliga in 1951.

The club returned to the Oberliga in 1956 and spent two seasons there when it was the top-tier league (1956-57 and 1957-58). When the Oberliga was dropped to the second-tier league in 1958, KEK retained their spot in the league. They later fell to the Gruppenliga, but managed a promotion to the top-flight Eishockey-Bundesliga for the 1969-70 season. After only one season in the league, KEK was relegated back to the Oberliga.

After the 1971-72 season spent in the Oberliga, the ice hockey section broke off from the sports club, forming the independent Kölner Haie.
