Plaza Francia (Spanish: "France Square") is a public square in the barrio of Recoleta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The nearby Plaza Intendente Alvear is commonly but mistakenly known by the same name.

The plaza was created as part of a major project to beautify Buenos Aires before the centennial of the 25 de Mayo. The French community in Buenos Aires contributed a grandiose monument: Emile Peynot’s Monument of France to Argentina, as a centennial gift.
