The Plomo Mummy (also known as Boy of El Plomo, El Plomo Mummy, or La Momia del Cerro El Plomo in Spanish) is the well-preserved remains of an Incan child found on Cerro El Plomo near Santiago, Chile in 1954. It was the first frozen mummy discovery of high-altitude human sacrifice by the Incas, a practice called qhapaq hucha.

The mummy is curated by the National Museum of Natural History in Santiago, Chile and it has a replica of the mummy on public display.
