Using $(106.41\pm 0.86) \times 10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we study for the first time the decay $\chi_{cJ}\to\eta'K^+K^-$, where $\eta'\to\gamma\rho^{0}$ and $\eta'\to\eta\pi^+\pi^-$. A partial wave analysis in the covariant tensor amplitude formalism is performed for the decay $\chi_{c1}\to\eta'K^+K^-$. Intermediate processes $\chi_{c1}\to\eta' f_0(980)$, $\chi_{c1}\to\eta' f_0(1710)$, $\chi_{c1}\to\eta' f_2'(1525)$ and $\chi_{c1}\to K^*_0(1430)^{\pm}K^{\mp}$ ($K^*_0(1430)^{\pm}\to\eta' K^{\pm}$) are observed with statistical significances larger than 5$\sigma$, and their branching fractions are measured.
