Huachipato FC is a Chilean football club based in Talcahuano that currently plays in the Chilean Primera División. Huachipato was founded on 7 June 1947 by workers of the homonymous steel mill in Talcahuano, and it currently plays its home games at the Estadio Huachipato-CAP Acero which it owns, being one of only five Chilean professional football clubs to own their own ground.

Huachipato have been Chilean champions three times and it is the only team from Southern Chile to ever win the Chilean top flight title.
