Lebanese Chileans, are immigrants to Chile from Lebanon. Most are Christian and they arrived in Chile in the mid-19th to early-20th centuries to escape from poverty.
Ethnically Lebanese Chileans are often called "Turks", (Spanish: Turcos) a term believed to derive from the fact that they arrived from present day Lebanon, which at that time was occupied by the Ottoman Turkish Empire.[2] Most arrived as members of the Eastern Orthodox church and the Maronite church, but became Roman Catholic.[3] A minority are Muslim.

The Greek Orthodox Christians built St George's Orthodox Cathedral, Santiago [fr] in 1917.[citation needed] It is a cathedral of the Church of Antioch with six parishes.[citation needed]
