La economía de Chile es la sexta más grande de América Latina en términos de producto interno bruto (PIB) a precios nominales, y la séptima en PIB a precios de paridad de poder adquisitivo (PPA).
Sin embargo, lidera la región en PIB por habitante a precios nominales, y es sólo superada por Argentina en PIB per cápita a precios PPA. Es considerada por el Banco Mundial como una economía de ingreso «medio alto», ubicándose a menos de US$200 del grupo de economías de «alto ingreso».
En mayo de 2010, Chile se convirtió en el primer país de América del Sur en ingresar como miembro a la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE) y segundo en Latinoamérica, después de México.
Chile posee una economía diversificada y competitiva. Además, tiene uno de los sistemas bancarios más estables y desarrollados de América. Su principal sector económico es la minería, principalmente el cobre, del cual es el mayor productor del mundo.
