Kiviõli (Russian: Кивиыли) is an industrial town in Ida-Viru County, Estonia. The settlement was founded in 1922 and became a town in 1946. The main industry is oil shale mining, which gives the town its name (literally "stone oil"). Included in the town limits, but somewhat separate from the main part of the town, are the districts of Küttejõu and Varinurme.
In 2000, 51% of inhabitants were ethnic Russians and 39% were Estonians. The population, which was 10,353 in 1989, had declined to 7,269 in 2000 and to 5,634 in 2011.
Estonian Sidecarcross Grand Prix has taken place in Kiviõli annually since 2008.

Those school girl day
if telling tales and bitting nails are gone
But in my mind I know they still live on and on
But how do you thank someone
who was taken you from crayons to perfume
It isn't easy but I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I'd write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
To sir with love
The time has come
For closing books and lock less looks like stares
And as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong that's a lot to learn
What can I give you in return
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start but I
Would rather you let give my heart
