Kivik is a village on the east coast of Scania in southernmost Sweden, in Simrishamn Municipality. It has 1,013 inhabitants (2005) and is located in a part of Scania called Österlen.

Kivik is known for its annual market, usually taking place on the third Monday through Wednesday of July each year. It's also known for its abundant production of herring, apples and apple cider, usually sold in large quantities at the market.

Historically, Kivik is also home to a bronze-age tomb - the 3,000-year-old "King's Grave". It is the largest circular burial site in Sweden, measuring 75 metres in diameter.

The national park of Stenshuvud is situated to the south of the village.
