Mari Johanna Kiviniemi (born 27 September 1968) is a Finnish politician and the Prime Minister of Finland. She was elected as the Prime Minister on 22 June 2010. Prior to her appointment as Prime Minister, Kiviniemi was Minister of Public Administration and Local Government in the Council of State of Finland from 2007 to 2010. Previously she was the Minister of Foreign Trade and Development from 2005 to 2006. Her political party is the Centre Party. In June 2010, she was elected chair of the Centre Party.
In 2003, Kiviniemi was elected to a leadership position within the Centre Party, serving as vice-chairman (one of three) until June 2008, when she was voted off at that summer's party convention. She became a special advisor to Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen in 2004, and was twice appointed by him to serve as a Cabinet minister: first in September 2005 on a temporary basis when the incumbent went on maternity leave for six months; and then on a full-time basis in April 2007.

On 22 January 2010, one month after Prime Minister Vanhanen announced he would be stepping down as leader (chair) of the Centre Party at its June 2010 convention, Kiviniemi announced her candidacy for the vacancy. Her campaign was formally launched in April.

Delegates to the Centre Party Convention met in Lahti to elect a new leader on 12 June 2010. Kiviniemi won the second-round run-off, defeating Mauri Pekkarinen by a vote of 1,357 to 1,035. Prime Minister Vanhanen met with President Tarja Halonen on Friday 18 June and asked her for permission to resign as Prime Minister. Kiviniemi's new post was approved by Parliament on June 22, 2010, with a vote of 115 to 56 and 29 MPs abstaining or absent. Her election made her Finland's second female prime minister, after Anneli Jäätteenmäki in 2003.
