Killis B. Bonner (c. 1847 - ?) was an American farmer and state legislator in Florida. He represented Marion County, Florida in the Florida House of Representatives in 1877.[1][2][3]

He was born in North Carolina.[1]

He was elected in 1876.[4] Some House documents use his initials and identify him as K. B. Bonner. He lost the 1878 election for a Florida House seat to Robert Bullock.[5]

In 1881 he gave sworn testimony that Moses Foster Jr. was his brother-in-law and had been prohibited from voting.[6] The testimony was for Horatio Bisbee Jr. in his contested election against Jesse J. Finley.[6]
