Uran Kalilov (Russian: Уран Калилов; born 20 December 1980) is a retired featherweight Greco-Roman wrestler from Kyrgyzstan who won a bronze medal at the 2002 Asian Games.[1] He placed 78th and 18th at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics, respectively. Kalilov trained at the Ryon Wrestling Club in Bishkek under his father Yusup Kalilov.

Kalilov made his international debut at the 2000 Olympics. He won his opening bouts against Steven Mays and Mohamed Abou Elela,[3] but then lost 3–0 to Andriy Kalashnykov and did not advance to the next round.[4]

Shortly after the Games, Kalilov won a bronze medal at the 2001 Asian Wrestling Championships, and placed fourth at the World Championships a few months later, losing 1–3 to the Olympic silver medalist Lázaro Rivas.[5] He also won a bronze medal at the 2002 Asian Games, narrowly winning Wang Hui with a 6–5 score.

Kalilov placed sixth at the 2003 World Wrestling Championships and qualified for the 2004 Summer Olympics.[6][7] At the Olympics he lost three consecutive bouts: to Sheng Jiang by a 3–3 draw and a double warning, to Artiom Kiouregkian by a pin, and to Håkan Nyblom by a 3–0 verdict. He was ranked eighteenth in the final standings.[8][9]
