UK Jive is the twenty-third studio album by the English rock group, the Kinks, released in 1989. It was the first album in almost three years since the 1986 album, Think Visual. At this point, it was the longest gap between album releases since the inception of the group. It was their last studio album to feature keyboardist Ian Gibbons who left during the sessions. Gibbons would later rejoin in time for the group's swansong live album To the Bone.
