The Ministry of Mining (Spanish: Ministerio de Minería) is the cabinet-level administrative office in charge of matters related to mining in Chile. The minister of mining in Chile is also the board president of the National Mining Enterprise (ENAMI).[1][2]

The mining sector contributed 16.4% of Chile's gross domestic product in 2009, 14,157 billion pesos, mostly from copper mining.[3]

In March 2022, President Gabriel Boric named Marcela Hernando Minister of Mining (Spanish: Ministro de Minería). He was replaced in August 2023 during a cabinet reshuffle with Aurora Williams.[4]
