Welsh Chileans are Chileans of Welsh descent whose family roots came from Wales. The Welsh did not settle in Chile in large numbers as in Argentina (see Welsh settlement in Argentina) and generally were identified with the other British groups in Chile. In the Patagonia region, about 10,000 residents have Welsh surnames, descendants of Welsh settlers who may have crossed the once disputed Argentine border and established farms or ranches in the late 19th century.
