The Frente Amplio (FA, Spanish for 'Broad Front') was a Chilean political coalition founded in early 2017, composed of left-wing parties and movements. Its first electoral contest was the 2017 Chilean general election, where their presidential candidate Beatriz Sánchez came third with 20% of the vote in the first round (missing the second-round cutoff by 3%). The Frente Amplio also expanded their electoral representation to 20 deputies (out of 155), 1 senator (out of 43) and 21 out of 278 regional councillors, thus consolidating the movement as a third force in Chilean politics.

In July 2024, its member parties merged into the new Frente Amplio political party.
