The Military Bishopric of Argentina (Spanish: Obispado Castrense de Argentina) is a military ordinariate (special diocese) of the Roman Catholic Church that provides religious services to Catholics serving in the Argentine Armed Forces.
It is exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See and its Roman Congregation for Bishops, and usually not combined with another see (unlike some other countries).
Its patron saint is Our Lady of Luján and the Episcopal seat is located at the (also Marian) Cathedral of the Star of the Sea (Catedral Stella Maris ) in Buenos Aires, national capital of Argentina.
