Kalolimnos is a small Aegean islet in the South Aegean administrative region of Greece, situated near the larger island of Kalymnos and close to the Turkish coastline. The islet is a minor, largely rocky landform in the Dodecanese island group and does not host a significant permanent population.

Because of its size and location it is primarily of local maritime and ecological interest rather than being a developed tourist centre. Access is by private boat from nearby inhabited islands when permitted.

Kalolimnos is part of the Dodecanese island cluster in the southeastern Aegean Sea, lying between the island of Kalymnos and the Anatolian coast.
