Aircraft nacelles having adjustable chines are described. An example apparatus includes a multi-segment chine coupled to a nacelle. The multi-segment chine includes a first segment and a second segment. The first segment is oriented along a fore-aft direction. The first segment is translatable relative to the nacelle along the fore-aft direction. The first segment includes one or more first airflow openings. The second segment is fixedly coupled to the nacelle. The second segment is oriented along the fore-aft direction. The second segment includes one or more second airflow openings. The second segment is substantially coplanar with the first segment. Translation of the first segment adjusts the transverse alignment of the first airflow openings with the second airflow openings to vary an allowable airflow through the multi-segment chine.
