Club Social y Deportivo San Martín (usually referred to as San Martín de Burzaco) is a football club based in Burzaco in Buenos Aires Province in Argentina. They currently play in Primera D Metropolitana, which is the regionalised fifth tier of the Argentine Football Association league system.

History

In the 1860s the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway built, convert|22|km|mi|0|abbr=on from Buenos Aires, a warehouse with a train station, which they named in honour of Francisco Burzaco. The town of Burzaco gradually developed around it.

The club was founded about 70 years later, with the name San Martín as a tribute to General San Martín, who liberated Argentina and Chile from the Spanish Empire.

Since the beginning of the professional era of Argentine football in 1931, the club has never played in the top two divisions.
