The Patria Grande Front (Spanish: Frente Patria Grande) is a leftist political front in Argentina founded by activist and social leader Juan Grabois. It was founded in October 2018, ahead of the 2019 Argentine general election, in support of the candidacy of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and in opposition to the government of Mauricio Macri. As of October 2020, it did not have official party status nationwide.
From 2019 to 2023, it was part of the Frente de Todos, a Peronist coalition formed to support the candidacy of Alberto Fernández (in whose ticket Fernández de Kirchner stood as candidate for vice-president). Following the Frente de Todos's victory, the Patria Grande Front became represented in the national cabinet with the appointment of Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta as Minister of Women, Genders and Diversity. In 2023, it became part of the Unión por la Patria coalition, the successor to Frente de Todos, formed to support Sergio Massa's presidential candidacy.
Patria Grande has minor representation in the lower chamber of the National Congress, with only three national deputies: Itai Hagman, Federico Fagioli, and Natalia Zaracho. The name of the front derives from the concept of Patria Grande.
