The Chamber of Deputies (Spanish: Cámara de Diputadas y Diputados) is the lower house of Chile's bicameral Congress. Together with the Senate, it forms the National Congress, which is chiefly responsible, alongside the President of the Republic, for the drafting and passage of legislation. Its organisation and its powers and duties are defined in Chapter V (articles 42 to 59) of Chile's current constitution.

Until 2019, the chamber's official name was the Cámara de Diputados de Chile ("Chamber of Deputies of Chile"). That year, the corporation's Internal Regime Committee approved changing the institutional name to the gender-inclusive Cámara de Diputadas y Diputados de Chile in its logo and internal communications, as part of a broader effort to promote non-sexist language in legislative work; the older name nonetheless remains in the constitutional text, the Organic Constitutional Law of Congress, and the chamber's own standing orders.
