Kivikko (Swedish: Stensböle; unofficial English translation of the Finnish name: "Rocky area") is the name of a district of Helsinki, the capital of Finland, built during the 1990's and the first decade of the 2000's. The district is located on the west side of Kontula, an important subregional centre and will have a population of 5000 once completed.

Kivikko is especially favoured by families with children. 14% of the inhabitants are immigrants or have immigrant roots, which is more than in most of Helsinki. There is also student housing in the area. However, Kivikko is generally more peaceful and less densely built than the nearby Kontula.
