No. They are made from oats, which is one of the "five species" of grains that are traditionally banned for Jews during Passover (Exodus ch.12).

There are "Kosher for Passover" dry cereals similar to Cheerios that are made from matzoh meal, but I've tried them so you don't have to. Stick with scrambled eggs; they're better for you.

60+ years ago, a very young chemist named Isaac Asimov wrote a Science Fiction story about a powder that would dissolve 1.2 seconds BEFORE you added water; he called it "thiotimoline". Matzoh Cheerios are very much like that.

The Cheerios box I have in front of me is Kosher, certified by the Orthodox Union -- their certifying mark (heksher) is an O with a small U inside. Look for that mark on the box. I have seen Cheerios boxes without a heksher, leading me to conclude that some production lines are under kosher supervision and some are not.
