Argentina Santos or Maria Argentina Pinto dos Santos (6 February 1924 – 18 November 2019) was a Portuguese singer considered one of the last great Fado singers.

[1] She started school but left so quickly that she was illiterate and had to learn reading and writing much later.

It was only after her second husband died that she was able to regain her career and her singing became popular.

In 1950 she took charge of the Lisbon restaurant "Parreirinha de Alfama" which became a centre for Fado playing.

[3] In 1995 she began to appear on Portuguese television and the following year she was performing on Brazilian TV.
