Olive Kilifi is an American rugby union player, who plays prop for the United States national rugby union team and for Seattle-OPSB.

Kilifi is from Seattle, Washington, and attended high school in West Seattle.[1] Kilifi debuted for the U.S. national team during the end of year tests in November 2013, earning two substitute appearances. Kilifi started in both of the March 2014 qualifying matches against Uruguay for the 2015 World Cup, and was considered one of the U.S. team's best scrummagers, although he struggled in other aspects of his game.[2][3]
