The Argentina census (Spanish: Censo Nacional de Población, Hogares y Viviendas en la Argentina) is a census mandated by the Argentina Constitution and takes place every 10 years since 1960.[lower-alpha 1] The first census was taken in 1869, under Domingo Faustino Sarmiento; there have been 11 federal censuses since that time. The most recent national census took place in 2022.[1]

Since 1968, the National Institute of Statistics and Census of Argentina is the public body responsible of conducting the census.
