Kaitaa (Finnish) or Kaitans (Swedish) is a district of southern Espoo, Finland, located south of the Länsiväylä highway, with a population of 6000.

Kaitaa mostly consists of detached houses, and contains the Hannusjärvi recreational area. There has been a preservation attempt in May 1998 to save the future of the lake.

In the southern part of the district is the Iivisniemi apartment building area.

Espoo plans high buildings along the coast-line.[1]
