The tangent bundle
TM of a Riemannian manifold (
M,
g) admits a Riemannian metric
G called the Sasaki metric. The general forms of Killing vector fields on (
TM,
G) are determined by Tanno [4]. The total space of the tangent sphere bundle
TλM is the set of all tangent vectors of (
M,
g) whose lengths are all equal to λ(≠0), and it is a hypersurface of (
TM,
G). In the present paper we study Killing vector fields on
TλM which are fiber preserving. The main theorem of this paper shows that any fiber preserving Killing vector field on (
TλM,
Gλ) is extended to a Killing vector field on (
TM,
G). Moreover, we will find a Riemannian manifold (
M,
g) such that any Killing vector fields on
T1M is fiber preserving.
