The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Argentina; (Chinese: 駐阿根廷臺北經濟文化辦事處; pinyin: Zhù Āgēntíng Táiběi Jīngjì Wénhuà Bànshì Chù) (Spanish: Oficina Económica y Cultural de Taipei en Argentina) represents the interests of Taiwan in Argentina in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, functioning as a de facto embassy.
The Office was established as the Oficina Comercial de Taiwán or "Taiwan Trade Office" in 1973, adopting its present name in 1996. The Office is headed by a Representative, Lien Sheng Huang.
It also has responsibility for relations with Uruguay. These were previously handled by the now closed Oficina Economica de Taipei in Montevideo.
Its counterpart in Taiwan is the Argentina Trade and Cultural Office in Taipei.
