Kijiji ( kee-JEE-jee, Swahili: [kiˈʄiʄi] ; lit. 'Village') is a Canadian online classified advertising website. It operates sections for cities and urban regions, for posting local advertisements. Kijiji was launched in February 2005 as an eBay subsidiary under Marktplaats BV. Marktplaats and Kijiji became part of the eBay Classifieds Group in 2007, which operated classifieds websites under different brands in other countries. The Kijiji brand is used in more than 100 cities in Canada. Kijiji along with its parent Marktplaats and eBay Classifieds Group were acquired by Adevinta in 2020. In Canada, Kijiji is the most popular online classifieds service and competes with Craigslist. The New York Times referred to Kijiji's Canadian site as representing "one of the few online brands that fizzled in the United States but found success elsewhere." Kijiji was made available to selected cities in the United States in 2007, and the brand was changed in 2010 to eBay Classifieds.
