Kilov (Kilow) Israel Moishe (Movsha) (21 January 1891, Preili, Vitebsk Governorate – 4 July 1941, Riga) — rabbi.

Israel Moishe Kilov graduated from a rabbinical seminary in Poland. From 1935 lectured at the Riga yeshiva. From 1934 served as rabbi in Talsi, and from the early 1930s acted as assistant to his father-in-law, the Chief Rabbi of Riga, M. Zak.

On 4 July 1941 he was burned alive by local Nazi collaborators in the Riga synagogue Zeilen-shul on Stabu Street 63, together with his congregants.
