Los viejos estandartes (Spanish: [los ˈβjexos estanˈdaɾtes]; «The old banners» in Spanish) is the official hymn and march of the Chilean Army.

Despite its symbolism associated to Augusto Pinochet's regime, the march also has been sung by socialist politicians like the president Michelle Bachelet[1][2][3] or José Antonio Viera-Gallo.[2]
