'''Ukrainian Argentines''' ({{lang-uk|Українці Аргентини}}, ''Ukrajintsi Arhentyny'', {{lang-es|Ucranio-argentinos|links=no}}) are [[Argentines|Argentine citizens]] of Ukrainian descent or [[Ukraine]]-born people who reside in [[Argentina]]. Ukrainian Argentines are an ethnic minority in [[Argentina]]; although the Argentine census does not provide data on ethnic origins, estimates of the Ukrainian population range from 305,000 to 500,000 people (the latter figure making Ukrainians up to 1% of the total Argentine population). Many Ukrainian Argentines are of Jewish descent.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ucrania.com/article_read.asp?id=69|title=Article
