Quilago (1490-1515), was a chief or queen regnant of the Cochasquí in Ecuador, famed for her defense of the Cochasquí against he expansion of the Inca Empire.

She was a chief or queen of the Cochasquí around the city of Tabacundo in Ecuador. In 1513-1515, she defended her chiefdom against the expansionism of the Inca Empire under Huayna Capac. She was finally defeated and placed in house arrest in her city in 1515. She was possibly placd in the harem of the Inca after her defeat: she has been pointed out as out as one of the possible mothers of Atahualpa, but this has never been confirmed. According to the legend, she attempted to murder the Inca by setting up a trap. He was alerted to her plans by spies and instead had herself thrown down the trap she had set up for him.
