Ikšķile () is a town in Latvia, the administrative centre of Ikšķile municipality. It was the the first capital of the catholic bishopric of Livonia, known by the German name of Üxküll. Meinhard, known from the Chronicle of Henry of Livonia, was the first bishop of Üxküll. In 1197 Berthold of Hanover, a Cistercian abbot of Loccum, was made the second bishop of Üxküll. Those days the town was the center of the upcoming crusading activities in the Livonian area. Bishop Berthold moved the episcopal see to Riga, but was killed by the Livs in battle.

The word Ikšķile (or the German Üxküll, Uexküll) comes from the meaning of (Finno-ugrian) Livonian word ükskül (yksikylä in Finnish).
Ükskül (üks = one, kül = village) means simply just village number one, one village or The Village.
