The Chamber of Deputies of Chaco Province (Spanish: Cámara de Diputados de la Provincia del Chaco), also widely known as the Legislative Power (Poder Legislativo), is the unicameral legislative body of Chaco Province, in Argentina. It convenes in the provincial capital, Resistencia.

It comprises 32 legislators elected in a single multi-member province-wide district through proportional representation. Members are elected by halves in staggered elections for four-year terms every two years.^[1]

Unlike most other provincial legislatures in Argentina, the Chamber of Deputies of Chaco is not presided by the provincial vice governor. Instead, the chamber counts with its own presiding officer, elected from among its members. Since 2021, the president of the Chamber has been Lidia Cuesta, of the Justicialist Party.^[2]
