Argentina Cove is a 1.28 km wide embayment indenting for 330 m the southeast coast of Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is part of South Bay, entered between Polish Bluff and Henry Bluff. The area was frequented by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Johnsons Dock.
The feature was mapped and named by the Spanish Antarctic Expedition in 1991.
