cis-Cyclooctene is a cycloalkene with the formula 62. It is a colorless liquid that is used industrially to produce a polymer. It is also a ligand in organometallic chemistry.

Cyclooctene is the smallest cycloalkene that can be isolated as both the cis- and trans-isomer. Trans-Cyclooctene is shaped like the 8-carbon equivalent chair conformation of cyclohexane.
