Information from historical sources, from the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century, about the native flora used for natural dyeing in central, central south, and southern Chile was systematically searched. Forty two species were identified, 11 of them endemic of Chile, including trees, shrubs and herbs. Along with a wide color range associated with these plants, different families were observed, being Berberidaceae and Nothofagaceae the most frequent ones. The contemporary reports about the knowledge and use of dyeing plants show that almost half of these plants are not used as deying plants among participants in those studies, who practice traitional crafts in Chile. It is important to disseminate and recover this knowledge, which is part of the natural and cultural heritage of the country, to consider it in public policies aimed to protect these species and their natural habitats, and to promote their sustainable use. La información relativa a tintes provenientes de plantas nativas de uso histórico en Chile se encuentra, a la fecha, dispersa. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en fuentes históricas, abarcando desde el siglo XVII hasta la primera mitad del siglo XX, que mencionara especies vegetales nativas de las zonas centro, centro sur y sur que fueron usadas para tintorería natural en Chile. Se identificaron 42 especies, entre árboles, arbustos y hierbas, 11 de ellas endémicas del país. Junto a la amplitud de la gama cromática posible de obtener con estas plantas, se observa una diversidad de familias representadas en ellas, siendo las más frecuentes Berberidaceae y Nothofagaceae. Los hallazgos de la literatura contemporánea muestran que casi la mitad de estas plantas no son utilizadas como fuentes de tintes naturales por las personas que participaron en esas investigaciones y que desarrollan oficios textiles tradicionales en Chile. Resulta relevante difundir y recuperar estos conocimientos que forman parte del patrimonio natural y cultural del país, considerarlos en las políticas públicas de protección de especies nativas y sus hábitats naturales, así como fomentar su uso sustentable.
