There are 16 extant historical elevators (Spanish: ascensores) in the city of Valparaíso in Chile. Technically most of these elevators are bona fidefuniculars. Only one of them, the Ascensor Polanco, is a true vertical elevator. They were mainly constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1]

Valparaíso in Chile, due to the number of hills above the so-called plan has had up to 30 ascensores.[2][3] Only 16 of them remained extant today and they are declared National Monuments of Chile.[4] As of 2018[update] only 7 of elevators are in operation, the other 9 are under a process of restoration and modernisation.[1]
These extant ascensores are a part of the Historic Quarter of the Seaport City of Valparaíso site which since 2003 is included into the UNESCO's World Heritage List.[5]
