Viivi Luik (born 6 November 1946) is an Estonian writer and poet.

Luik was born in Tänassilma, Viljandi County. From 1965 to 1967, she studied at the Tallinn extramural secondary school, working at the same time as a librarian. In 1970, Luik joined the Estonian Writers' Union. In 1974, Luik married Jaak Jõerüüt, another Estonian writer and later diplomat. As the wife of a diplomat, she has spent several years abroad: in Helsinki (1993–1997), Berlin (1996) and Rome (1998–2003).

Luik's first poem appeared in the local daily in 1962, and in 1964 she debuted in the prominent literary magazine Looming. Her first collection of poetry, Pilvede püha (Holiday of Clouds), was published in 1965.
