Kiirunavaara eller Kirunavaara (nordsamiska Gironvárri, meänkieli Kierunavaara) är ett fjäll som ligger i Kiruna kommun och innehöll en av världens största kända sammanhängande kroppar av järnmalm. Berget är beläget väster om tätorten Kiruna och syns tydligt nästan var man än befinner sig i staden. Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) har brutit malmen där sedan början av 1900-talet och idag är gruvan världens största och modernaste underjordsgruva för järnmalm, Kirunagruvan.[1]
Historia
Ett av de äldsta kända namnen på berget och platsen är Kerona berg från slutet av 1600-talet. Det nordsamiska namnet Gironvárri, som betyder ’fjällripeberget’, har på finska blivit Kiirunavaara . Sydväst om Kiirunavaara ligger lågfjället Pahtohavare och det ligger även ett myrområde väster om slamdammarna känt som Kiirunavuoma.

Kiirunavaara (Northern Sami: Gironvárri, Meänkieli: Kierunavaara) is a mountain situated in w:Kiruna Municipality in Norrbotten County, Sweden. It contains one of the largest and richest bodies of iron ore in the world. The presence of iron in the area was known already in the mid-17th century, but at this early time communication lines to this northerly region were quite insufficient to permit any major exploitation. Only with the construction of the Iron Ore Line railway at the end of the 19th century, which connected the ports of Narvik on the North Sea and Luleå on the Baltic Sea, did commercial mining become a realistic proposition. The Swedish mining company LKAB (Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag) has been mining the mountain since the beginning of the 20th century.
