The Argentina national volleyball team represents Argentina in international men's volleyball games. The team is managed by the Argentine Volleyball Federation (FeVA).

Argentina's team first played internationally at the South American Championship in Rio de Janeiro in 1951. They finished in fourth place. Their first World Championship was also in Rio in 1960, where they placed 11th.

Some of the team's best moments include winning a bronze medal at the 1982 World Championship. They also earned a bronze medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics and another at the 2020 Summer Olympics. The team has won gold medals at the 1995 and 2015 Pan American Games. In the 1990s, they were often ranked among the top ten teams in the world.

Even without winning medals, the team has done well in recent Summer Olympics. They finished 4th in 2000 and 5th in 2004, 2012, and 2016.

At the South American level, Argentina has won two gold medals at the South American Men's Volleyball Championships (in 1964 and 2023). They have also earned nineteen silver medals and eight bronze medals in this competition. Volleyball came to Argentina in 1912 through the YMCA. The Argentine Volleyball Federation was started in 1932. As games were shown on TV, more and more people became fans.
