Horacio del Carmen Valenzuela Abarca (born 5 April 1954) is a Chilean prelate of the Catholic Church, who was Bishop of Talca from 1996 to 2018.

On 11 March 1995, Pope John Paul II named him titular bishop of Gummi in Proconsulari and Auxiliary Bishop of Santiago de Chile. He received his episcopal consecration on 7 May from Cardinal Carlos Cardinal Oviedo Cavada. John Paul named him Bishop of Talca on 12 December 1996.

On 18 May 2018, Valenzuela submitted his resignation to Pope Francis, as did all the Chilean bishops at the conclusion of a three-day meeting in Rome. Pope Francis accepted Valenzuela’s resignation on 28 June 2018. In a farewell message to the people of his diocese, Valenzuela apologized in general terms “for what I did not do or did wrong”, without mentioning the sexual abuse crisis or its victims.

Some victims alleged that Valenzuela was aware of the abuse.
