We study the holographic entanglement entropy in various confining theories, based on the proposal of Klebanov, Kutasov and Murugan.

This study suggests a possible relation between the entanglement entropy and the Wilson loop, which is the standard order parameter for confinement.

However, we find that the entanglement entropy also probes UV properties like (non)locality, which the Wilson loop is not sensitive to.
