The Chilean submarine Hyatt (S23) was an Oberon-class submarine in the Chilean Navy, originally launched as HMS Condell. She was the second Chilean ship to bear the name Hyatt, the first being a British-built Serrano-class destroyer. Hyatt was in service from the mid-1970s until the late 1990s, but was replaced (along with her sister ship O'Brien) by the newer Thomson-class submarines Thomson (SS-20) and Simpson (SS-21).

Hyatt is named for the American-born engineer Edward Hyatt, who died while serving on a Chilean warship during the Battle of Iquique.^[1]
