The Kiffing is a range of hills, relatively small in area and up to 344.1 m above sea level (NN), in the district of Kassel in the German state of Hesse.
The Kiffing hills in the extreme north of Hesse belong to the southern ranges of the Weser Uplands. They are located between the southern foothills of the Solling in the north and the northern foothills of the Bramwald in the south. To the northeast and north they are passed by the lower reaches of the river Schwülme, to the southwest and west by a stretch of the Upper Weser, beyond whose western banks looms the Reinhardswald. The Kiffing lies between Wahlsburg to the northwest, Uslar to the northeast and Oberweser to the south.
