Berdine Pierre Castillo Lillo (born 18 March 2000) is a Chilean athlete. She competes internationally at 800 metres. She won a gold meal in the 2023 South American Championships in Athletics.

Life Castillo was born in Haiti at Port-au-Prince in 2000. She says that she remembers only a few phrases of her first language and she has only small memories of her life before Chile.

In 2023 she was in San Paulo in Brazil at the 2023 South American Championships in Athletics. She won Chile's fourth Gold medal in the 800 metres beating nine others including Cristina de Almeida and Anita Poma.

In November 2023, she was complaining to the press about being under pressure not to compete. She mentioned Poulette Cardoch not being chosen despite having the third best time. She believed the decision was based on racism and pressure brought by the retired sprinter Ximena Restrepo.

In January 2024 she was at Cochabamba in Bolivia at the 2024 South American Indoor Championships in Athletics.
