Quilicura is a commune of Chile located in capital Santiago. Founded in 1901, it was originally a satellite city on what were then the outskirts of the city of Santiago, but as urban sprawl has set in it is now quickly urbanizing from what was recently prime agricultural land. It is the second most recent commune to be absorbed by the constantly growing Santiago, the most recent being Padre Hurtado.

Quilicura is home to many industries and its residents are mostly middle class families since the recent urbanization. The commune has a very high HDI in comparison to other similar middle to upper middle class communes of the country. There is little green space in comparison to wealthier neighborhoods in the city because Quilicura is still an industrial area.
