This article lists political parties in Argentina.

Argentina has a multi-party system with two or three strong political parties or alliances, and many smaller parties that enjoy representation at the National Congress. Since the 1990s, there is a strong decentralizing tendency within the national parties, along with the growing national relevance of province-level parties and alliances.

Since 1946, the strongest party has been the Justicialist Party (when not banned, it lost only two presidential elections, in 1983 and 1999). The second most important party was traditionally the Radical Civic Union, until the 2001 collapse.

In the 2003 Argentine general election the first and the second places were earned by Justicialist presidential candidates. In the 2007 presidential election, the Civic Coalition earned a second place, but this party dropped to 1% of the popular vote in the 2011 general election.

In the last decade, as traditional parties fragmented, new parties and alliances occupied a relevant place. However, as of 2010 both the Justicialist Party and the Radical Civic Union reorganized in some way or another, leaving most of the newly formed parties as junior partners or as district-level relevant political forces.

In the 2011 presidential election, left-wing Justicialist president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner renewed her mandate for another 4 years.
