Un chemamull (chemamüll ou chemamul) qui signifie « personnage en bois » en mapudungun (par l'association de che, personnage et mamüll, bois), est une statue en bois sculptée et utilisée par les Amérindiens mapuches lors de rites funéraires[1].

Le chemamüll est taillé dans des troncs ou des morceaux d'arbres. Ces statues peuvent faire plus de 2 mètres de haut, et représentent le corps et la tête stylisés d'un être humain.
