Xilomantzin was the "tlatoani" ("king") of the pre-Columbian "altepetl" (ethnic state) of Culhuacan in the Valley of Mexico from 1440 to 1473.

Xilomantzin was the son of Acoltzin, the previous ruler of Culhuacan, and Tlacochcuecihuatl or Tlacochcuetzin, a daughter of Tezozomoctli, ruler of Azcapotzalco. [Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 2, p. 111.] He succeeded his father in the year 13 Flint (1440). [Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, p. 233.] He married Izquixotzin, the daughter of Tlacateotl, ruler of Tlatelolco, and had a son named Acolmiztli. [Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 2, p. 113.]

In the year 7 House (1473), Xilomantzin sided with Moquihuixtli, then ruler of Tlatelolco, in a conflict against Tenochtitlan (led by Axayacatl), which resulted in both Moquihuixtli and Xilomantzin being killed. [Chimalpahin (1997): vol. 1, p. 139; vol. 2, pp. 91–93, 107; Quiñones Keber (1995): pp. 221–222.]
