Peruvian Argentines (Quechua: Piruwnu Arhintinapi, Spanish: Peruano-argentinos) are Argentine citizens of partial or full peruvians descent, or Peruvian citizens who have migrated to and settled in Argentina.

According to the 2010 national census, there were 157,514 Peruvians living in Argentina,[3] making them one of the largest immigrant communities in the country; many more are descended from Peruvians but were born in Argentina, thus counting as full Argentine citizens. Argentina is home to the fourth largest Peruvian community worldwide, after the United States, Spain and Chile.[4]
