Chile competed at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. It was the first official appearance of the nation at the modern Olympic Games, although some sources claim that a single Chilean athlete competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics. Fourteen competitors, all men, took part in sixteen events in four sports.
