The ambassador of the United Kingdom to Argentina is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in Argentina, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission there. The official title is His Britannic Majesty's Ambassador to the Argentine Republic.
From 1853, when the United Kingdom and the Republic of Paraguay established diplomatic relations, until 1941 the British Minister or Ambassador to Argentina was usually also accredited to Paraguay. Since 1941 a British Minister or Ambassador has been resident in Paraguay.
