This article listspolitical parties in Argentina.

Argentina has amulti-party system with two strongpolitical parties or alliances, and various smaller parties that enjoy representation at theNational Congress.

Since the 1990s, there is a strong decentralizing tendency within the national parties, along with the growing national relevance ofprovince-level parties and alliances. In the last decade, most of the newly formed parties remained as junior partners of the main alliances or as district-level relevant political forces.

From the "national organisation" process (1862–80) up to 1916, the oligarchicNational Autonomist Party directed Argentine politics, before being replaced, through the firstsecret ballot elections, by theRadical Civic Union. The "Infamous Decade" (1930–43), initiated by the first moderncoup d'état in Argentina, represented a return of theconservatives, who implemented a so-called "patriotic fraud" electoral practice.Since 1946, the strongest party has been theJusticialist Party, emerging around the leadership ofJuan Perón (when not banned,justicialists lost only four presidential elections, in1983,1999,2015, and2023). From 1946 to 2001, the second most important party was theRadical Civic Union, until the2001 financial crisis. From then on,left-wingJusticialistsNéstor Kirchner and his wifeCristina Fernández de Kirchner won the2003,2007 and2011 general elections. After that, in the2015 general election,Kirchnerism was defeated by aCentre-right coalition,Cambiemos, composed of theRadical Civic Union andRepublican Proposal, a newliberal conservative party. However, in the elections of 2019, theJusticialist Party joined theFrente de Todos (aCentre-left coalition) which won thepresidential elections. The PJ returned to power, withAlberto Fernández as President of the Nation.

Since 10 December 2023, the current-ruling party in Argentina is theLibertarian Party, withJavier Milei as President of the Nation.
