Argentina at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England was the nation's eighth appearance out of eleven editions of the Summer Olympic Games. Argentina sent to the 1948 Summer Olympics its fifth national team, under the auspices of the Argentine Olympic Committee (Comité Olímpico Argentino) of 199 athletes (188 men and 11 women) who competed in 101 events in 16 sports.^[1] It would not be until the 2016 Summer Olympics that the athlete delegation were surpassed. The medals haul of 3 golds, 3 silvers, and a bronze tied the medals haul in 1928. The achievement of 7 medals in an edition of the Olympics has yet to be matched.
