Kivitoo est une communauté inuite abandonnée ainsi qu'un ancien poste de chasse à la baleine située sur la côte nord-est de l'île de Baffin au Nunavut (Canada). Dans les années 1950, les familles inuites de Kivitoo ont déménagé à Qikiqtarjuaq sur l'île du même nom qui est située approximativement à 50 km plus au sud.

Histoire

Au début du 20e siècle, la Sabellum Trading Company a établi un poste à Kivitoo pour servir les baleiniers qui y accostaient afin d'y dépecer les carcasses. Le poste fut abandonné en 1926.

Kivitoo (FOX-D) était un site de l'ancienne ligne DEW et est maintenant un site du Système d'alerte du Nord.
