FilKONtario (AKA FKO) is a filk convention held in the Mississauga/Toronto area each spring since 1991. It is sponsored by the Filk Society of Upper Canada.

The first FilKONtario was held in April 1991. Since 1995 it has sponsored the Filk Hall of Fame, and new inductees are announced at the convention banquet.

Filk Waif is a term honoring the first waif, Mary Ellen Wessels, whom two of the concom members brought to FilKONtario at their expense because she couldn't afford it. Having been done once, it became a Tradition to bring someone to the convention each year.

The Board and Committee had announced that the August 2022 FilKONtario, called "FilKONtario: The Lost Years," would be the last unless people are found to form a new Board. However, a 2024 convention was subsequently scheduled.
