General Carlos Prats González (February 24, 1915 – September 30, 1974) was a Chilean Army officer and politician. He served as a minister in the Salvador Allende's government while Commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army. Immediately after General Augusto Pinochet's September 11, 1973 coup, Prats went into voluntary exile in Argentina. The following year, he and his wife were assassinated in Buenos Aires by a car bomb planted by the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional.
