Coquimbo Unido is a Chilean football club based in the city of Coquimbo. The club was founded in 1958 and has played in the Chilean Primera División since being promoted in 2022. Their home games are played at the Estadio Municipal Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso, which has a capacity of approximately 18,750 seats.

The club's badge bears an illustration of Bartholomew Sharp, privateer who explored the Pacific coast of South America in the late 17th century.

The club was founded on 30 August 1958.

In 2005, the club was runner up of the Primera Division Apertura tournament, losing the final to Unión Española. However, the club had a dismal Clausura tournament, and were one spot away from being relegated.

Coquimbo won the 2018 Primera B and returned to the Primera Division for the 2019 season after 14 years of absence. The club has a great return in the 2019 season, finishing fifth in the league table and qualifying to continental competitions for the first time in 28 years.

In 2020, the club had a poor season in the Primera Division, and were eventually relegated. However they had an excellent Copa Sudamericana campaign, where they reached the semi-finals and were eliminated by the champions, Defensa y Justicia, and eliminated notable teams like Atlético Junior and Sport Huancayo on their way to this stage.

In 2025, the club secured their first-ever Primera División title with four matches remaining, after a 2–0 victory over Unión La Calera.
