X-Wild was a German heavy metal band founded in 1993 by three former band members of Running Wild (thus the name X (Ex) Wild). The trio hired a British vocalist, Frank Knight, and put out their first album, So What!, in 1994.

X-Wild had the support of the majority of fans in Running Wild's fan club but gained an anti-image among diehard Running Wild worshippers becoming notorious as a ripoff band. Even though they used many of the song-writing clichés typical for Running Wild, X-Wild had many other influences and developed a style of their own. Vocalist Frank Knight was often compared to U.D.O.'s frontman Udo Dirkschneider and AC/DC's legendary singer Bon Scott.

X-Wild disbanded in 1997 Rumours say it that one of the band's promoters disappeared with all band's money during the Savageland tour. This resulted in the decay of the band.
