The 28-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a three-year extension to his current deal which will keep him at Tannadice until May 2012.
Wilkie joined United on trial ahead of the 2006/07 season after being released by rivals Dundee following three serious knee injuries.
He impressed enough to earn a permanent contract in October 2007 and was named club captain by boss Craig Levein in January 2008.
