Alma Negra is a mountain in the Cordillera de la Ramada range of the Andes Mountains, in Argentina. It has a height of 6,110 metres (20,046 ft).[1]

The first ascent of the mountain was by a Polish expedition in 1934 (leader, Konstanty Jodko-Narkiewicz; summit climbed by Jan Kazimierz Dorawski [pl] and Wiktor Ostrowski [pl] on February 9 that year), when a cairn was erected on the summit.[1][2][3]

In 2022, Austrian climber Christian Stangl reached the summit of Alma Negra on a new route from the south side in a solo ascent.[4]
