The '''Argentina–Chile border''' is the longest international [[border]] of [[South America]] and the third longest in the world after the [[Canada–United States border]] and the [[Kazakhstan–Russia border]]. With a length of {{convert|5308|km|mi|lk=on}},<ref>{{cite web |title=Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos |url=https://www.indec.gob.ar/indec/web/Nivel4-Tema-1-15-25}}</ref> it separates [[Argentina]] from [[Chile]] along the [[Andes]] and on the islands of [[Tierra del Fuego]]. However, there are some [[Argentina–Chile relations#Border issues|border disputes]], particularly around the [[Southern Patagonian Ice Field]]. It is the largest border of the two countries, beating the [[Argentina–Paraguay border|Argentina–Paraguay]] and [[Bolivia–Chile border|Chile–Bolivia]], Argentina's and Chile's second largest borders, respectively.

The northern end of the border is a [[tripoint]] it forms with those at the [[Argentina–Bolivia border]] and the [[Bolivia-Chile border]] in the arid [[Puna de Atacama]] plateau. The border extends south until reaching the sea at the same place the [[Strait of Magellan]] meets the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. Further south the border on the [[Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego]] follows a meridian separating the island into two. This boundary reaches the sea at [[Beagle Channel]] a few kilometers southwest of [[Ushuaia]].
In November 1984 the southern border area was finally established after long negotiations and mediation of [[John Paul II]] by the [[Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1984 between Chile and Argentina]], a perpetual treaty, signed at the [[Vatican City|Vatican]] by representatives of both countries.
On 16 December 1998, an agreement between Argentina and Chile was signed to redefine the border line from [[Mount Fitz Roy]] and [[Mount Daudet]] and finish with the [[Southern Patagonian Ice Field dispute|historical dispute]]. However both countries didn't agree in the section between Mount Fitz Roy and [[Mount Murallón]], and the border is still pending to be defined. Only Chile shows this on the cartography, while Argentina shows its pre-1998 claim, not following the new border between Murallón and Daudet from the agreement, nor indicating the pending section.
[[File:Argentine and Chilean Antarctic claims (1946–present (as of 2023)).svg|
The territorial claims of Argentina and Chile over Antarctica partially overlap with each other. Chile claims for itself the Chilean Antarctic Territory, which is included in the Region of Magallanes and Chilean Antarctica, while Argentina claims Argentine Antarctica, whose territory is part of the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands.
Both countries recognize each other's territories that do not overlap with their own as stipulated in the protocols of 1947, 1948, 1964, 1971 and 1978.<ref>{{cite book |author1=Pablo Rodríguez Márquez |title=Chile y sus intereses en la Antártica: opciones políticas y de seguridad frente a la escasez de recursos hídricos |date=2007 |publisher=cademia Nacional de Estudios Políticos y Estratégicos
Both countries have areas reachable by road only through the other country. [[Magallanes Region]] in Chile requires an around 1400 km drive through Argentina if driving from the more northern parts of Chile. [[Tierra del Fuego Province, Argentina|Tierra del Fuego]] of Argentina requires 220 km drive through Chile from nearest other part of Argentina.
