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 uninfluented by Russian language despite the influx of Russians following the founding of Saint Petersburg in 1703.
