The Regional Council of the Valparaíso Region (Spanish: Consejo Regional de la Región de Valparaíso), commonly known as CORE Valparaíso, is the regional council of the Valparaíso Region in Chile. It serves as the normative, decision-making, and oversight body within the scope of the Regional Government of Valparaíso and is responsible for ensuring citizen participation at the regional level and exercising the powers conferred upon it by the relevant organic constitutional law.[1] Its headquarters are located in the city of Valparaíso.

The council is composed of 28 councillors elected by direct universal suffrage from the region's provinces.[2] Councillors serve four-year terms and may be re-elected for a maximum of two additional terms. Until 2021, the council elected a president from among its members by absolute majority; following a constitutional reform enacted in 2020, the presidency of the regional council is held by law by the Regional Governor.[3]
