The Bavarian Wikipedia (Bavarian: Boarische Wikipedia) is the Bavarian language edition of the Web-based free-content encyclopedia Wikipedia. The project was started on November 13, 2003 as an Alsatian language edition. A year later it was expanded to encompass all Alemannic dialects because of low activity in the first year. Since 2004 all Alemannic dialects are accepted on als:wp.

As of April 30, 2012, this edition has over 11,500 articles and is the 108th largest Wikipedia by number of articles. Contributors and users include people from Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Liechtenstein, and even a few Walser people from Italy.

Other Wikimedia projects in Alemanic have also been created, such as an Alemannic Wiktionary, an Alemannic Wikiquote, and an Alemannic Wikibooks. As activity in these projects was low even after years, the community of the Alemannic Wikipedia decided to merge all Alemannic projects and import all contents of the other projects into the Alemannic Wikipedia. Since April 2008 these projects are separate namespaces within the Alemannic Wikipedia. Also an Alemannic Wikisource and an Alemannic Wikinews have been created as separate namespaces within als:wp.

Sie enthielt im Oktober 2014 über 10.000 Artikel und ist damit eine mittelgroße Wikipedia-Ausgabe unter den 280 Wikipedien. Ihr ISO-Sprachcode ist bar.

Die bairische Wikipedia hat 26.344 registrierte Benutzer, 77 aktive Autoren, 6 Administratoren und 2 Bürokraten. Sie belegt den 126. Rang unter über 280 Sprachversionen, was die Anzahl der Artikel angeht.

Eine Besonderheit der Bairischen Wikipedia ist, dass einige sogenannte Schwesterprojekte als Namensräume in die Wikipedia integriert sind. SPRUCH für Wikiquote, TEXT für Wikisource, BUACH für Wikibooks, WOAT für Wiktionary und NOCHRICHT für Wikinews.
