Kilit is a village and municipality in the Ordubad District of Nakhichevan, Azerbaijan. It is located in the left side of the Nakhichevan-Baku railway, 16 km in the south-east from the district center. At present, there is no population in the village.
It is the provenance and namesake of the Kilit language—one of several native Iranian languages of the Azerbaijani people, such as Old Azeri—until the eventual linguistic and cultural Turkification of the area.
