Angelina Vásquez (born 1950) is a Chilean documentary filmmaker who was exiled to Finland following the 1973 Chilean coup but returned to film clandestinely during the Pinochet dictatorship in the early 1980s. Like Marilú Mallet in Canada and Valeria Sarmiento in France, she is notable as one of the first Chilean women film directors, emerging in the early 1970s but producing most of her work in exile.
