'''Anti-Chilean sentiment''' (or "'''Antichilenismo'''") is a dislike, hatred or fear of Chileans. The motivations of the Anti-Chilean sentiment can be varied, but the majority tend to be related to historical, political and cultural motivations or pure [[racism]]. Because Chile has had a complicated relationship with its neighboring countries (Argentina, Bolivia and Peru) due to territorial conflicts, this has meant that Anti-Chilean sentiment still carries some weight to this day.

Argentina and Chile have had a historical rivalry in different spheres, so the prejudice against Chileans is still quite large in Argentina. Anti-Chilean sentiment was strongly promoted by the dictatorship of the [[National Reorganization Process]], and reached its peak during the Beagle Conflict, a territorial dispute over a group of islands on the southern border that nearly sparked a war between the two countries, with the Argentine dictator [[Jorge Rafael Videla]] planning a large-scale invasion against Chile under the codename "Operation Sovereignty", and Pope John Paul II had to intervene to make a peaceful mediation and avoid possible war. Subsequently, Chile would support the United Kingdom during the [[Falklands War]], which was seen by many Argentines as a "treason" and increased Anti-Chilean sentiment.
