Argentines, also called Argentinians, come from the large South American nation of Argentina. Argentina is a multiethnic society, and as a result, Argentines do not consider their nationality as an ethnicity but as a citizenship with various ethnicities. Most Argentines are of ethnic European descent, although there are both Indigenous and Mestizo peoples.

Almost all Argentines speak Spanish, and a majority practice Roman Catholicism. In 2013, Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected as Pope of the Catholic Church and took the name "Francis", becoming the first pope from the Americas and from the Southern Hemisphere. Approximately 9% of Argentines are evangelical protestants.

Most Argentines outside Argentina are from the middle and upper middle classes, and tend to be more educated and have a higher income than the average American. The first wave of immigration to the USA occurred during the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983. During the 1990s, due to the abolition of visas, thousands of Argentines immigrated. The last major wave of immigration occurred during the 2001 crisis when much of Argentina's economy collapsed.
