Isla de Pascua Department, also named Easter Island Department, was one of the departments of the historical province of Valparaíso before the "regionalization" of 1974. It was named after Easter Island and comprised such territory and the Sala y Gómez island. It was effectively replaced in 1976 by the Isla de Pascua Province.
