Macul (Quechua: "to stretch out right hand") is a commune of Chile located in the central-eastern part of the Greater Santiago area, bordered by the communes of Ñuñoa to the north, San Joaquín to the west, Peñalolén to the east and La Florida to the south.

It is predominantly a residential and industrial zone, although its activities have been diversifying in recent times, which has necessitated improvements in infrastructure and connectivity with the rest of the city. The commune is considered a middle class area of Santiago.
