Villa Las Estrellas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbiʝa las esˈtɾeʝas]; Spanish for The Stars Village[3] or Hamlet of the Stars)[4] is a permanently inhabited outpost on King George Island within the Chilean Antarctic claim, the Chilean Antarctic Territory, and also within the Argentine and British Antarctic claims.

The Chilean government considers it to be in the commune of Antártica, in the province of Antártica Chilena, in the región of Magallanes and Chilean Antartica.

It is located on President Eduardo Frei Montalva Base, a research station. It is the larger one of only two civilian settlements on Antarctica (the other being Argentina's Esperanza Base).[4] It has a summer population of 150 and a winter population of 80.[5]
