We explore models in which weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter annihilation is directly responsible for baryogenesis, thereby connecting dark matter with baryogenesis. We call this process WIMPy baryogenesis. The dark matter relic density in these models, as with conventional WIMP models, is obtained with only order one couplings and TeV-scale masses according to the WIMP miracle. Thus, WIMPy baryogenesis models naturally accommodate weak-scale dark matter. Furthermore, an extension of the WIMP miracle simultaneously explains the observed baryon asymmetry and the correct dark matter abundance. The models we present have the further feature that they create the baryon number asymmetry at the weak scale, thereby avoiding the problems in some models of baryogenesis associated with high reheat temperatures in supersymmetric theories. Some of these models yield observable consequences in ongoing and future experiments.
