The Equality Party (Spanish: Partido Igualdad) is a left-wing political party in Chile. It was founded in 2009 by various social movements of workers, students, mortgage borrowers, townspeople and human rights organizations, among other actors. Its first president was former communist councilor of Peñalolen, Lautaro Guanca.^[4]

Legally registered in 2012, it first appeared in the municipal elections of that year. Reaching 0.81% of the vote, it got the election of one councilor.^[5]

For the 2013 elections, the party proclaimed Roxana Miranda as its presidential candidate.^[6] The party joined the Broad Front and supported Beatriz Sánchez for President in 2017, winning a seat in the lower house.

The party was deregistered in February 2022 because it did not receive at least 5% of the votes in the 2021 parliamentary elections to maintain its legality.^[7]
