Argentavis magnificens (ave argentina magnífica) es una especie extinta de ave ciconiforme de la familia Teratornithidae. Se trata de la mayor de lasaves voladoras que haya existido. Habitó, durante el Mioceno Superior, la llanura chacopampeana y las planicies de la Patagonia.1 Probablemente las Teratornithidae como el Argentavis están relacionados directamente con los ancestros de los actuales cóndores.

It is nearly the size of a Cessna 152 light aircraft, with a 23-foot (7-meter) wing span and weighing approximately 150-pounds (70-kilograms)
