Kiwi is a global brand of shoe polish, originally developed in Australia in 1906 by William Ramsay. Kiwi has grown to be the dominant shoe polish in many countries since it was used by both the British and U.S. Armies in World War I. However it announced its exit from the UK market in 2022. Soon afterwards in 2023 Kiwi announced it will be ending the brand in the US by June 2024, sunsetting certain products before the 2023 year even ended.

In November 2023 an email confirming that kiwi shoe polish has been discontinued was published other kiwi products such as shoe deodorant continue to be made available.

As of 2025 the Kiwi brand is owned by S. C. Johnson.
