The Governorate of New Toledo was a Spanish Governorate of the Crown of Castile formed from the previous southern half of the Inca Empire, stretching south into present day central Chile, and east into present day central Brazil.
It was established by King Charles I of Spain in 1528. Diego de Almagro was the appointed Spanish royal governor after the failure of Simón de Alcazaba y Sotomayor to establish himself in the area after the Capitulation of Toledo of 1529.
It was replaced by the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru in 1542.
