Summer Olympics appearances (overview)
The team of Chile at the opening ceremony.

Chile at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden was the nation's first official appearance out of four editions of the Summer Olympic Games. Some sources claim that Chile was represented by one athlete, Luis Subercaseaux, at the 1896 Summer Olympics. That cannot be substantiated because the Official Report typically includes only medal winners and Subercaseaux did not win any.

The all-male 1912 national team of fourteen athletes competed in sixteen events in four sports.[1]
