Brazil-Chile relations refers to interstate relations between the Republic of Chile and the Federative Republic of Brazil. Currently, both countries are ruled by socialist leaders, Michelle Bachelet in Chile and Lula da Silva in Brazil, whom advocate for a moderate leftist politics and open market economy. Chile and Brazil have acted numerous times as mediators in international conflicts, such as in the 1914 diplomatic impasse between the United States and Mexico, avoiding a possible state of war between those two countries. More recently, since the 2004 Haiti rebellion, Chile and Brazil have activelly participated in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, which is led by the Brazilian Army.

On May 20, 1914, Argentina, Brazil and Chile (the ABC countries) met in Niagara Falls, Canada, to mediate diplomatically in order to avoid a state of war between the United States and Mexico over the Veracruz Incident and the Tampico Affair.
On May 15, 1915, the ABC Powers met again to sign a more formal treaty, designed to foment cooperation, non-aggression and the arbitration of disputes. It was formulated to resist American influence in the region and to establish a mechanism for consultation between the three signatory countries, such as setting up a permanent mediation commission. The official name was the Consultation, Non-Aggression and Arbitration Pact.
