Rebeca Matte Bello ( October 29, 1875 – May 15, 1929) was a Chilean sculptor. Her sculptures are in the collection of the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, including her sculpture Icarus and Daedalus, which resides outside the museum

In 1899, she displayed a statue entitled Horace at the Salon in Paris, a work showing the physical and psychological rigidity associated with an epileptic seizure. In 1908, the Chilean government commissioned her to design a sculpture for the International Court of Justice at The Hague.Bello displayed two works at the 1913 Salon dAutomne. The first, full of allure and vigor, is a bust of an older wrestler shown defying the harshness of life. The second work, which was said to be one of the nicer works in the Salon, was called A Life; it was a representation of a beautiful, mature woman sitting on a stone sphinx, looking backwards. Le Figaro describes the artist as a fine talent from the young Latin American school of art and noted her ease and control over the execution of these works. It notes that she studied under Denys Puech and a Monsieur Dubois.
The piece commissioned for the International Court of Justice was installed in 1914; it was called The War.
The Chilean government continued to commission works from Matte and in 1914 she created Heroes de la Concepción, located in Santiago.Matte became a teacher at the Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze in 1918.
