Sportivo Barracas are a football club from Bolívar in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. They currently play in Primera C Metropolitana, which is the regionalised fourth tier of the Argentine Football Association league system.

Sportivo Barracas played in the top flight of Argentine football in the era before the professionalisation of the game in 1931. The club were one of the biggest to take the decision to stay amateur. This decision paid dividends because the following year they became the AAAF Champions 1932.

At the end of the 2005/2006 season, Sportivo Barracas qualified for the promotion playoff, but they were eliminated in the semi-finals by Argentino de Rosario 9-1 on aggregate.
