The '''G'Kek''' are a fictional extraterrestrial race from [[David Brin]]'s [[Uplift Universe]].

As a race the G'Kek are wheeled creatures with four eye stalks instead of heads protruding from a central cavity, looking rather like "a squid in a wheelchair". Their spokes are susceptible to arthritis in old age, especially under significant gravity. They are known for their talents in weaving and agility and they preferred living in zero-g environments while they were still a part of the starfaring galactic oxygen-breathing civilization.
