Cilo was a Swiss manufacturer of bicycles who filed for bankruptcy in 2002. Previously the bicycles were produced on the shores of Lake Geneva in Romanel-sur-Lausanne in the Vaud canton (VD.).

"Cilo" is an acronym for Charles Jan Lausanne-Oron.^{[citation needed]} The abbreviation of the name from the manufacturer "Jan" was transformed in "i" for pronunciation purpose in French. "Lausanne-Oron" refers to a holding in Lausanne, associated to the industrialisation of the city at the turn of the 20th century.

Hans Knecht was world champion in 1946 riding on a Cilo bicycle; other notable riders include Beat Breu, Daniel Gisiger and Tony Rominger.

Cilo co-sponsored a European cycling team along with Atari and Ciclolinea in 1992.
