Don Torcuato is one of six divisions in the Tigre Partido of the urban agglomeration of Greater Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is named after Marcelo Torcuato de Alvear, ex-President of Argentina, as he had his ranch and residency there. Most of the streets are named after his immediate family and his governmental staff.
Don Torcuato has a train station on the Belgrano North line of the Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano with direct connection to Buenos Aires, and also the nearby Pascual Palazzo highway, part of the Pan-American Highway. It formerly had a general aviation airfield, bearing the same name (Don Torcuato - ICAO:SADD), that was closed in January 2006.
Don Torcuato is known to be the home of Hindu Club, Buenos Aires most recent rugby tournament champion.
