The Government of Chile is the set of state bodies of said country which are responsible for exercising political, administrative and executive functions, in accordance with the Constitution and the laws.

The term "government" in the Chilean Constitution includes, on the one hand, all the duties of the President of the Republic in the political leadership of Chile, as the highest head of the executive branch, and, on the other hand, those duties within the state administration, by participating in it, although without holding a monopoly over it. Currently, the government of Chile is headed by José Antonio Kast Rist, who took office on March 11, 2026.
