Argentina competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016.

The Argentine Olympic Committee (es|Comité Olímpico Argentino|link=no) sent the nation's largest ever delegation to the Games in Olympic history, surpassing the record set in London 1948.
On 6 August, judoka Paula Pareto claimed the gold in the women's 48 kg, becoming the first Argentine woman to become an Olympic champion.
