Vilanterol is a medication primarily used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It may also be used to prevent worsening in asthma. It is inhaled in combination with other medications.

Common side effects include nose and throat irritation, thrush, and chest pain. Other side effects may include anaphylaxis and bronchospasm. It is a long-acting β2 adrenoreceptor agonist (LABA).

Vilanterol in combination with fluticasone was approved for medical use in the United States in 2013. It is also avaliable as umeclidinium/vilanterol and fluticasone/umeclidinium/vilanterol. In the United Kingdom a month of medication costs the NHS about £20 to £45 as of 2021. In the United States this amount costs about 190 USD.
