The 1969 Scotland rugby union tour of Argentina was a series of matches played during the month of September 1969 by Scotland in Argentina. It was also the first tour of a Scottish national side to Argentina.^[1]

Despite the fact that Scottish Rugby Union did not consider this match as official test matches, was a real tour of Scottish national side. At those time, was usual for the Scottish Rugby Union to consider official only the match played against the other teams that play Five Nations, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. Scotland, after a loss in the first test match, won the second and drawn the series.
