Precordillera is a Spanish geographical term for hills and mountains lying before a greater range. The term is derived from cordillera meaning mountain range and applied usually to the Andes.
Some places usually called Precordillera are:
- Mountains between Sierras de Córdoba and the main chain of the Andes in Argentina.
- Used all over Chile from north to south as a morphological unit lying just between the Andes and the Intermediate Depression.
