Cyprinus yilongensis is a species of carp in the family Cyprinidae, order Cypriniformes, subfamily Cyprininae, described by Yang and colleagues in 1977. It was found only in Yilong Lake in Yunnan, China. The species was last seen before 1981, when the lake was drained for twenty days, an event presumed to have caused its extinction, and the IUCN now lists it as Extinct.
