Pali-Aike Volcanic Field (also spelled Palei-Aike) is a Pleistocene-to-Holocene volcanic field in Patagonia on the Argentina–Chile border, located north of the Straits of Magellan about 150 km northwest of Punta Arenas, Chile. The volcanic field contains lake-filled maars, along with basaltic scoria cones and spatter cones with fresh-looking lava flows. It is the southernmost basaltic volcanic field in Patagonia.
