Hibito (spelled variously Híbito, Hívito, Chibito, Ibito, Jibito, Xibita, Zibito) is an extinct language of Peru. It, together with Cholón, also extinct, constituted the Hibito-Cholon family.

There were 500 speakers reported in 1850.

Loukotka (1968) reports that it was spoken along the Huamo River, just north of the Cholón area.^[1]
