Croatian Chileans (Spanish: Chileno-croatas, pronounced [tʃiˈleno kɾoˈata]; Croatian: čileanski Hrvati or Hrvatski Čileanci) are Chileans of full or partial Croatian descent. Chile has one of the largest communities of ethnic Croats outside Europe, second only to Croatian Americans. They are one of the main examples of successful assimilation of a non-Spanish-speaking European ethnic group into Chilean society. Many successful entrepreneurs, scientists and artists, as well as prominent politicians who have held some of the highest offices in the country, have been of Croatian descent – including the 37th president, Gabriel Boric.
