'''Keluo''' (Chinese: {{lang|zh|{{linktext|科洛}}}}, <small>p</small> ''Kēluò'') is a dormant volcanic field {{convert|310|km|sp=us}} north-by-northwest of Daquijin in northeastern China. It is located at an intersection of regional lineaments trending northeast and northwest; the volcanoes were erupted through basement igneous and sedimentary rocks from the Jurassic to Cretaceous, through granite, and through pre-Permian metasediments. Like the Wudalianchi volcanic to its south, it contains high-potassium basaltic cinder cones.<ref name=KLo>''VolcanoDiscovery''. "[http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/keluo.html Keluo volcano]".

The field possesses 23 cones over an area of {{convert|350|sqkm|sp=us|abbr=on}}. There are reports of historical activity, but these remain unconfirmed. The morphology of a number of the cones{{mdash}}including Nanshan ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|南山}}}}), Gushan ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|孤山}}}}), Jianshan ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|尖山}}}}), Dayishan ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|大椅山}}}}), and Xiaoyishan ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|小椅山}}}}){{mdash}}suggests their formation during the last 10,000 years (the Holocene). Most cones to the northeast, however, probably date from the Pleistocene to the Tertiary.<ref name=KLo/>
Other peaks include Dangzishan, Heishan, and Muhenanshan.<ref name=KLo/>
