The I.Ae.32 Chingolo (named after the South American bird) was a civil trainer, touring and aerobatic aircraft developed in Argentina in the 1940s. It was designed by Sandro Gorissenso and developed by the Instituto Aerotécnico for manufacture by the company “Mario Vicente Construcciones Aeronáuticas” in Córdoba Province as an initiative under President Juan Perón's first five year plan.

The design, which shared some of the technical characteristics of the earlier I.Ae. 31 Colibrí, was a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with and had fixed tailwheel undercarriage; seating a student pilot (or passenger) and instructor (or pilot) in a tandem enclosed cockpit.
