Romanian Argentines are Argentine citizens of Romanian descent or a group of Romania-born people who nowadays reside in Argentina.
Romanian immigration to Argentina began in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. It started along with the massive wave of European immigrants who arrived in the country during that period. Many Romanian immigrants to Argentina were Jewish. Numerically, this current was significantly lower than that of other peoples of Central and Eastern Europe.

Romanian immigration to Argentina can be divided into three waves:
First wave
The first wave ranges from the late nineteenth century until after World War II. Immigrants came mainly from Austria-Hungary (Transylvania and Bukovina) and the Russian Empire (Bessarabia).
The earliest of whom is adventurer Julius Popper, who perpetrated the Selk'nam genocide.
Second wave
The second wave of Romanian immigrants in Argentina came just after the end of the World War II.
Third wave
The third wave came in the 90's, after the end of the communist regime in Romania.
