The Ordinariate for Eastern (Rites) Catholics in Argentina or Argentina of the Eastern Rite (Spanish Ordinariato para los fieles de ritos orientales en Argentina) is a Catholic Ordinariate for Eastern Catholic faithful (pseudo-diocesan jurisdiction within a Latin territory), jointly for all Eastern Catholics, regardless of Rite.

However two rite-particular churches sui iuris have their own suffragan Eparchies (dioceses) in the ecclesiastical province of Buenos Aires :

It was established on 1959.02.19, on territory previously only served by the Latin church.

However it was initially left vacant until 1990, sometimes with an Auxiliary bishop of Argentina of the Eastern Rite in charge :

Since 1990, it remains vested in the Latin Church Metropolitan Archbishop of the national capital Buenos Aires.

As per 2014, it pastorally served 2,000 Catholics with a single parish priest in the capital, residing Avenida Rivadavia 415.
