KiMs is a Danish owned brand of chips and snacks owned by the Swedish Company Chips AB, which in turn is owned by the Norwegian Orkla Group.

The brand "KiM" was trademarked in 1961 by Odense Marcipanfabrik in Denmark, but as a German cigarette brand of this name already existed, the name was changed to "KiMs" in 1965. In 1990 the owning company was sold to the Nora Group, and the KiMs division was made into a stock company. The year after, KiMs became part of the Norweigan Orkla Group when Nora and Orkla merged.

Products include ordinary chips with either salt, salt and pepper or paprika taste, KiMs Minimal with less fat and either sea salt or paprika taste, KiMs Delivio made with olive oil and salt, sea salt and pepper or red and green paprika taste, KiMs Chips O'Hoi with sea salt and KiMs Mexican Fiesta. KiMs also manufactures two types of tortilla chips branded as KiMs Mexos with either salt or cheese taste as well as a number of other snacks including popcorn, bacon chips, french fries and potato sticks. Dip is available in the tasts of mexos, guacamole, holiday, tortilla, tzatziki and garlic.
