Guapas (Spanish: Brave ones) is a 2014 Argentine telenovela. It is produced by Pol-ka, and aired by El Trece. It is starred by Araceli Gonzalez, Isabel Macedo, Mercedes Morán, Carla Peterson and Florencia Bertotti.

Mónica (Mercedes Morán), Mey (Carla Peterson), Lorena (Florencia Bertotti), Laura (Isabel Mado) and Andrea (Araceli González) had met in a protest against a bank that closed and confiscated their savings. This incident forced them to give up on several personal projects. They become friends since then, and try to reorganize their lives.

Although the plot is focused on a group of women, the program is not similar to Sex and the City nor Desperate Housewives. The cast defined it as a post-feminist program, as the characters are not angry with men, but rather seek romantic relations.

All the five actress are important actress in Argentine television, and most of them had worked together at previous telenovelas. Although they are not personal friends, they commented that they have no problems working together, and do not foresee any internal problems like those suffered by Farsantes. Farsantes, the previous telenovela, had fights between the actors that led many of them to leave it before the ending. The actress Mercedes Morán is the mother of the actress Mercedes Scápola, and their characters are mother and daughter in the plot as well. Morán had encouraged her daughter to have her own acting career, and made a cameo with her in the 2012 telenovela Graduados. Both of them felt that Guapas was the appropriate time for a steady joint work. Morán's character is in a couple with the one by Dady Brieva, both actors had been lead actors in a previous telenovela, Gasoleros.
