Scottish Chileans are Chileans of Scottish descent who came from Scotland and in some cases, Scots-Irish people from Northern Ireland. A large proportion of Scottish Chileans are sheep farmers in the Magallanes region of the far south of the country, and the city of Punta Arenas has a large Scottish foundation dating back to the 18th century.

A famous Scot, Lord Thomas Cochrane formed the Chilean Navy to help liberate Chile from Spain in the independence period. Chile has developed a strong diplomatic relationship with Great Britain and to further invite more British settlers to the country in the 19th century.
