Bagley Argentina S.A. is an Argentine food company with its main plant located in Buenos Aires. Established by U.S.-born entrepreneur Melville Sewell Bagley in 1864, the company (owned by French multinational Danone since 1994) had a wide variety of brands, having specialised in the production of crackers and cookies.

At the moment of being acquired by Danone, Bagley was the main cookies producer of Argentina.[5] Nowadays, some of Bagley's brands (like Chocolinas, Rumba and Criollitas) are also marketed by Arcor,[6] which is associated with Danone for cookies production in Argentina.[3]
