This contribution presents the latest searches for dark matter with the KM3NeT neutrino telescope. Indirect searches for neutrinos from dark matter annihilations primarily probe weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The largest flux is expected from WIMP annihilations in celestial objects with a large density of dark matter, such as the Galactic Centre and the Sun. In this work, searches for annihilations in the Galactic Centre are performed in the 50 GeV/c2−100 TeV/c2 mass range, for a representative set of annihilation channels. The low energy detector, KM3NeT/ORCA, is used to probe WIMP annihilations in the mass range up to 1 TeV/c2, while the higher energy detector, KM3NeT/ARCA, probes heavier masses. The ORCA data consists of data sets recorded with 6, 10, and 11 detection lines, totaling around 750 days of livetime. The ARCA data set consists of data recorded with 19 and 21 detection units, totalling around 350 days of livetime. No significant excess was observed in any data set, resulting in constraints on the WIMP pair-annihilation cross section across the probed mass range.
