Chileans in the Falkland Islands are people of Chilean ancestry or nationality who live in the Falkland Islands. They form largest community coming from mainland South America and the largest non-British group[A] on the islands, accounting for over 6% of the total population according to the 2012 census.[1] However, the actual number of Chileans living in the Falkland Islands may be higher as some individuals of Chilean origin may have identified themselves as "Falkland Islander" in the census, and the census did not include temporary Chilean workers on the islands.[2]
