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.
Despite the fact that originally Scottish Rugby Union did not consider this series as official including test matches, it was a real tour of Scottish national side. At the time, it 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 to draw the series.
In 2023, the SRU retrospectively announced that both matches against Argentina were considered as full test matches. This meant that players capped in this tour were retrospectively given full senior caps. The players now capped as full senior internationalists were Ian Murchie and Arthur Orr from the first test match, and Bruce Laidlaw from the second test match.
