List of vice presidents of Argentina

The Vice President of Argentina is a senior official of Argentina who integrates the electoral team accompanying the citizen who is elected President of Argentina, and whose main function is to replace him in case of temporary absence, or in case of permanent absence for disability, death or resignation. In Argentine history, there have also been de facto vice presidents, imposed as a result of coups d'état, although not all governments headed by de facto presidents had the presence of a vice president. This is the second highest political position in Argentina.

The Vice President replaces the President if the President cannot do the job. The vice president is not a member of the National Executive Power and only assumes the presidency in the absence or inability of the president to exercise power. During the time that the vice president does not exercise the Executive Power, his function is to be president of the Senate, without a vote unless there is a tie, in which case he has the power to break the tie. The Argentine Constitution does not have any provision on the replacement of a Vice President. The usual constitutional practice has been to leave the position vacant in the event of death, disability, removal or resignation.
