The 2013 Argentine police revolts were a series of protests by provincial police demanding better pay and working conditions, which affected 21 of Argentina's 23 provinces.

Some of the strike methods included neglect of duty and breaking into public buildings. Due to this situation, looting began to occur in some cities, Córdoba being the most affected, followed by Tucumán. The riots began on 3 December and ended ten days later.
