Argentina at the 2023 Pan American Games

Argentina competed at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile from October 20 to November 5, 2023. This was Argentina's 19th appearance at the Pan American Games, having competed at every edition of the games since the inaugural edition in 1951.

On 5 October 2023, the Argentine Olympic Committee officially named the team of 508 athletes (268 men and 240 women) competing in 38 sports (e-sports total of 14 is not included).

Rugby sevens player Marcos Moneta and kayaker Sabrina Ameghino were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.

Volleyball player Facundo Conte and fencer Isabel Di Tella were the country's flagbearers during the closing ceremony.

However, the final two days for Argentina were successful and made a great recovery: the country won 12 of the 17 gold medals they finally obtained, and climbed from 12th place to 7th in the medal table.
