List of political parties in Chile

This article lists political parties in Chile.

Chile has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties, coalitions in the case of Chile. This is because the 1980 constitution approved during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet made it extremely difficult for marginal parties to achieve electoral success.
