Luvenga (, ) is a rural locality (a selo) in Kandalakshsky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located beyond the Arctic Circle at a height of above sea level. Population: 575 (2010 Census). Dysaphis karyakini was first found in this region.
Luvenga is located at the mouth of the eponymous river Luvenga. Its source is located in the Yolki-Tundry hills about above sea level and it ultimately discharges into the Kandalaksha Gulf of the White Sea. The river's name is of Kildin Sámi origin, being derived from a word meaning 'to shake; to rock'. A temporary fishing settlement has existed at the mouth of the Luvenga since the 16th century.
