Kanevka () is a rural locality (a selo) in Lovozersky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located beyond the Arctic Circle on the Kola Peninsula at a height of above sea level. As of the 2010 census, Kanevka had a population of 67. It is located at the confluence of the Ponoy and the Yugonka, away from Lovozero.
Kanevka was established by Komi people from the Pechora basin in 1923 and was named after its founder's surname, Kanev. There were three other Komi villages nearby established around the same time: Ivanovka (Chalmny-Varre), Krasnoshchelye and Oksino. In 1927, Kanevka became the winter settlement of the Sámi community (siida) of Lumbovka, replacing their previous winter settlement by the river Acheryok. However, the Sámi settled permanently in the summer settlement of Lumbovka in 1934. The population of Kanevka was 166 in 1938, most of whom were Komi. It became the center of a selsoviet in 1967.
