Ein Kielbogen, auch Eselsrücken, Sattelbogen, Schottischer Bogen oder Akkolade genannt, bezeichnet in der Architektur einen Bogen mit geschweiften Kanten, die im unteren Teil konvex und im oberen Teil konkav geschwungen sind. Der Umriss des Bogens gleicht damit einem auf den Kopf gestellten Schiffskiel.
