La Nación is an Argentine daily newspaper. It is on the right of the political spectrum, with the centrist Clarín being its main competitor. It is the only newspaper in Argentina still published in broadsheet format.

The daily was re-named in August 28, 1945, having formerly been La Nación Argentina, founded in January 4, 1870 preeminently by former Argentine president Bartolomé Mitre and associates. Until 1914, the managing editor was Jose Luis Murature, Foreign Minister of Argentina from 1914-1916.

With over 100 years of circulation, its share is 30% of all newspapers sold in Buenos Aires, and is distributed all over the country and world-wide.

Some of the most famous writers in the Spanish-speaking world, from José Martí, Unamuno, Eduardo Mallea, José Ortega y Gasset and Rubén Darío to Alfonso Reyes, Jorge Luis Borges and Manuel Mujica Laínez have appeared regularly in its columns.
