The Argentina national badminton team (Spanish: Selección Argentina de bádminton) represents Argentina in international badminton team competitions and is administered by Argentine Badminton Federation (Spanish: Federación de Bádminton de la República Argentina). Badminton has been played in Argentina since the 20th century in clubs and schools across the nation. The sport was promoted in the 1970s by the Argentine Youth Christian Association but did not garner much attention.

The national team was formed after the formation of the Argentine Badminton Federation (FEBARA) in 1982.[1] The team competed in the first South American Badminton Championships while it was also the host. The team also made their first appearance in the Sudirman Cup in 1995.

The Argentinian mixed team also participated in the Pan American Badminton Championships. Mateo Delmastro is the first Argentinian badminton player to play at the Youth Olympic Games.
