Natalia Duco Soler (born January 31, 1989 in San Felipe ) is a Chilean shot putter .

In 2006 she won the gold medal at the South American Games for the first time , which she successfully defended in 2010 and 2014.

In 2007 she won bronze at the South American Athletics Championships. The following year she was Ibero-American champion and junior world champion. At the Olympic Games in Beijing , she was eliminated from the qualification.

In 2009 she defended her title at the South American Championships.

In 2010 she won gold at the South American Games and silver at the Ibero-American Championships.

At the Olympic Games in London in 2012 , she reached eighth place with 18.80 m. In November 2017 she won the gold medal at the Juegos Bolivarianos in Santa Marta with 17.99 m.

In February 2019 it was suspended for three years for doping with effect from April 2018. As a result, the South American Sports Association declared Duco's victory at the 2018 South American Games in Cochabamba to be invalid and withdrew her gold medal. Their previous titles and records, however, were retained. Duco initially sought to have her ban lifted by the International Court of Justice , but her defense withdrew the lawsuit in June 2019.

Duco has been the Chilean record holder since 2008. She threw the best on June 13, 2008 in Iquique with 18.65 m, which she increased to 18.80 m at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
