Aron Kiviharju, born January 25, 2006, is a Danish born Finnish ice hockey defenceman currently playing for HIFK in the Finnish Elite League (SM-liiga). Notably, at just the age of 16, Kiviharju made his professional debut in the second round of the Champions Hockey League against EV Zug, serving as TPS's seventh defender with 13:47 minutes of ice time in a 4–0 loss on September 4, 2022. He then debuted in the SM-liiga regular season on September 13, 2022, in an away game against Tappara, and finished the season with three assists in 21 games.

For the 2023–24 SM-liiga season, Kiviharju transferred to HIFK. Unfortunately, a knee injury requiring surgery limited him to just seven games, during which he recorded a goal and an assist. This injury caused his draft projection to fall from a top prospect to a late first-round or later selection.

Notably, Kiviharju was selected by the Dubuque Fighting Saints as the 147th pick in the 2022 United States Hockey League (USHL) Futures Draft but chose to remain with Finnish club HC TPS for the 2022–23 season.
