Cheirodon kiliani is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a characin, belonging to the family Characidae. This species is endemic to Chile.[2]
This species was first formally described in 1982 by the Chilean limnologist and ichthyologist Hugo Hernes Campos Cereceda with its type locality given as the Río Cau Cau in Chile.[2] Campos named this species in honour of his teacher, the German biologist Ernst Kilian, the founding director of Instituto de Zoología, Austral University of Chile, Chile.[3]
