The Argentine Republic motorcycle Grand Prix is a motorcycling event that is part of the FIM Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. The Grand Prix returned in 2014 with a race at Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo.[1] Previously, the event was held ten times at the Autódromo Oscar Alfredo Gálvez in the capital city of Buenos Aires between 1961 and 1999 and was known as the Argentine motorcycle Grand Prix.

The event is due to take place at the Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo until at least 2025,[2] however the 2024 race was cancelled due to "current circumstances" in the country.[3]
