Olonets Karelian (East Karelian, Livvi) is the variety of Karelian language spoken by Olonets Karelians, traditionally inhabiting the area of the Olonka River.

Olonets Karelian long remained relatively uninfluenced by the Russian language despite the influx of Russians following the founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703.
