Alcides Arguedas (July 15, 1879 in La Paz – May 6, 1946 in Chulumani) was a Bolivian writer and historian.
His literary work, which had a profound influence on the Bolivian social thought in the first half of the twentieth century, addresses issues related to national identity, miscegenation, and indigenous affairs.
