Yes, but not by much. The fastest a Blue Whale can go is approximately 50 km/h (about 30 mph). The fastest a Killer Whale, or an Orca, can go is approximately 56 km/h (about 35 mph). But, you got to remember: Killer Whales, or Orcas, aren't actually whales at all, but a specific genus of dolphin.

Why would you see an orca at SeaWorld and not a blue whale?
The tanks at Seaworld are actually too small for an Orca but they seem to get by there. On the other hand a Blue whale is much larger than an Orca. In fact they are the largest mammal on the planet. They would need a very, very large tank.

When does a blue whale die?
Blue whales can live for 80 to 90 years. No blue whales are being killed now. Hunting of the blue whale stopped in 1977. Now, the blue whale's only predator is the orca, or killer whale (actually a type of dolphin). Almost a quarter of blue whales have scars from orca attacks, but the blue whale's size (up to 120 tonnes and 60 metres [200 ft] long, bigger than any of the dinosaurs) suggests they are difficult to kill. There is no information on how many are killed by orcas.

Definitely the blue whale is the biggest animal in the whole world the blue whale can measure up to 27 metres whereas a fully grown male killer whale can measure from 6-9.7 metres. The killer whale is not a whale it is actually a species of dolphin in the oceanic dolphin family delphinidae. The killer whale is called the killer whale because it has been seen killing whales. The name killer whale has been shortened from killer of whales. And the killer whale may not be as big as the blue whale of most other whale species but the orca is the biggest specie of dolphin :)

One on one, a big 80 feet long blue whale would defeat a 30 feet long killer whale. However, when a pack (pod) of killer whales team up, they can kill an adult blue whale, although they usually prefer to attack a calf, or a pregnant female, which are weaker than a adult male blue whale.
