Cabecita negra is a term used in Argentina to derogatorily refer to a segment of the population associated with dark-skinned people with Indigenous features or mixed race people (mestizos) belonging to the working class. It was generally used in the mid-20th century by the middle and upper classes of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Region and, to a lesser extent, by the same social sectors in other important urban centers in the Pampas region, such as Rosario or La Plata.
