The Old French Version K is one of the oldest redactions of the Roman des Sept Sages de Rome. It takes its siglum from the initial of the earliest editor (H. A. Keller, in 1836). Like versions D (Sept Sages de Rome) and C (Sept Sages de Rome), Version K is presumed to have originated from a (now lost) verse version, which Gaston Paris called Version V. It is the only complete surviving verse redaction of the early, Old French Sept Sages narrative, and it survives in only one manuscript.

In this version, the king of Rome is named Vespanianus, and his first wife is the daughter of the duke of Carthage. Neither the prince nor the king's second wife are named.
