The 1986–87 Argentine Primera B Nacional was the 1st season of the newly created professional second division of Argentine football. This was the result of new changes in the entire Argentine football league system, the Metropolitano and Nacional of Primera División disappeared and the previous second division, the Primera B Metropolitana became the third division.

The division was formed by 7 teams from Primera B Metro (the best placed teams from a tournament played previously), 13 teams from regional leagues outside Buenos Aires and 2 teams relegated from Primera División in the 1985–86 season. A total of 22 teams competed, with the champion and runner-up being promoted to Primera División.

Deportivo Armenio won the championship, promoting to Primera along with Banfield (winner of "Torneo Octogonal").[1] On the other hand, Central Norte (Salta), Atlético Concepción (Banda del Río Salí, Tucumán), and Unión of Villa Krause (San Juan) were relegated to Primera B Metropolitana.[2][3]
