Chinameca (also known as El Pacayal) is a stratovolcano in central-eastern El Salvador.

It lies north of San Miguel volcano and rises over the town of Chinameca.

The volcano is topped by a 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide caldera known as Laguna Seca el Pacayal, and a satellite cone on the west side, Cerro el Limbo, rises higher than the caldera rim.

Fumaroles can be found on the north side, and it has been the site of a geothermal exploration program.
