Kerli Kõiv (; born 7 February 1987), known mononymously as Kerli, is an Estonian singer and songwriter.

Kerli entered multiple singing competitions before LA Reid signed her to Island Records in 2006. She released her debut self-titled EP (2007) and her debut studio album Love Is Dead (2008), the latter charting on the Billboard 200. The lead single from the album, "Walking on Air", charted in several European countries; it was also featured as the iTunes Store's Single of the Week, being downloaded over 500,000 times to set a new record. Kerli contributed the song "Tea Party" to the album Almost Alice (2010). With her 2010 single "Army of Love", she began to move away from her alternative rock sound for a more electronic and dance-influenced sound.
