Cixilo (c. 665 – fl. 694) was a Visigoth queen consort, whom king Egica (687–702) married to secure his succession to the throne of Cixilo's father, Erwig.

She was the daughter of Erwig and Liuvigoto. She married Egica c. 680. Erwig, prior to his death, had made a law that no one could harm his wife or children; Egica set about overturning this law. Thereafter, although Egica gained his throne by marriage to Cixilo, he later decided his rule was sufficiently secure, and, possibly at the instigation of his uncle, Wamba, repudiated her in 687, forcing her into a convent.
