Malvinas Argentinas Partido is a partido in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, in the Gran Buenos Aires urban area. It has an area of {{convert|63.8|km2|sqmi|1|abbr=on}} and according to the preliminary results of the 2010 Census, the population was 321,833 inhabitants. ({{census-ar|2010}}). Its capital is Los Polvorines, and its largest city is Grand Bourg.

Its name reflects Argentina's disputed claims of sovereignty over the Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas in Spanish). It was created on October 20, 1994 by Provincial Law #11551, seceding from the partido of General Sarmiento, which was dissolved the following year.

Its capital, Los Polvorines, was founded on the Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano railway, along with the neighboring town of Del Viso. The union of the lands around these two train stations originated the district.

By Decree #4520, the federal government on 17 December 1908, created the train stop Los Polvorines, which name came from the Sargento Cabral munitions depot (polvorín in Spanish), established by the Argentine Army nearby.
