The Chincha were a Native American people of the Andes.

They have given their name to the Chincha Islands, off the coast of Peru, as well as the animal known as the chinchilla (literally "Little Chincha"). The Chincha lived in high altitudes and wore the pelts of these animals to keep warm. They are also said to have eaten this rodent. The Chincha were eventually overun by the Incas.
