A Polish Argentine (Spanish: polaco-argentino) is an Argentine citizen of full or partial Polish ancestry. Poland was the third largest net migrants contributor after Italy and Spain. Although it is hard to give an exact number of Polish immigrants to Argentina, as those who immigrated before 1919 carried German, Austrian or Russian passport, it is estimated that between 1921 and 1976, 169,335 Poles permanently settled in the country. Today there are between 500,000 and 1 million Argentines of Polish descent. The Polish minority in Argentina is both one of the most significant minorities in Argentina and one of the largest groups of Polish minority.
