The Regional Council of the Ñuble Region (Spanish: Consejo Regional de la Región de Ñuble), commonly known as CORE Ñuble, is the regional council of the Ñuble Region in Chile. It serves as the normative, decision-making, and oversight body within the Regional Government and is responsible for ensuring citizen participation in regional public administration and exercising the powers conferred upon it by the relevant organic constitutional law.[1]

The council is composed of 16 regional councillors elected by popular vote for four-year terms, with the possibility of up to two re-elections. Territorial representation is distributed among the region’s three provinces: eight councillors from Diguillín Province, four from Itata Province, and four from Punilla Province.[2] Councillors serve four-year terms and may be re-elected. Until 2021, the council elected a president from among its members by absolute majority; following a constitutional reform enacted in 2020, the presidency of the regional council is held by law by the Regional Governor.[3]
