The West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) was a collegiate athletic conference which historically operated in the state of West Virginia (with one Kentucky member in its early years and two Pennsylvania schools during its final years).

At its inception, the conference was affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). In 1995 it moved up to the Division II ranks of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

in June 2012 the football-playing members of the conference announced that they planned to withdraw to form a new conference at the end of the 2012โ€“13 season. This led to all but one of the WVIAC's members leaving. The conference held its final athletic competitions in spring 2013 and was officially disbanded on September 1 of that year.
