German-Chilean relations are foreign relations between Germany and Chile. During the last 150 years, many Germans have settled in Chile, for several different reasons. Thousands of Chileans sought refuge in Germany during Pinochet's dictatorship.

In 1810, when Chile became independent from Spain, Hamburg traded with Valparaiso. From 1848, as Chile encouraged Germans to emigrate, more and more German settlers arrived in Chile.
