'''cis-Cyclooctene' is a cycloalkene with the formula (CH2)6(CH)2. 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. cis-Cyclooctene is shaped like the 8-carbon equivalent chair conformation of cyclohexane.
