The Regional Council of the Tarapacá Region (Spanish: Consejo Regional de la Región de Tarapacá), commonly known as CORE Tarapacá, is the regional council of the Tarapacá Region in Chile. It serves as the normative, decision-making, and oversight body within the scope of the Regional Government of Tarapacá and is responsible for ensuring citizen participation at the regional level and exercising the powers conferred upon it by the relevant organic constitutional law. Its headquarters are located in the city of Iquique.
The council is composed of 14 councillors elected by direct universal suffrage from the region's two provinces: 11 from Iquique Province, and 3 from Tamarugal Province. 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.
