Chislobog () is a slavic pseudo-deity of time and/or numbers invented in the 20th century, mentioned in the Book of Veles, spelled as 'ченслобг' ("chenslobg") The book is normally seen as a literary forgery which is claimed to be an ancient Slavic mythical text. His name supposedly comes from the words number (, chislo) and god (, bog).

He is also identified with Zislbocg/Zislbog from Prillwitz idols, an 18th-century archaeological forgery. However, Andreas Gottlieb Masch, who described the idols, wrote that while the previous figurine (in his list) is identified with the Sun, the one beside him must be an image of the Moon, while noticing that he was not familiar with the word.
