Emigrante (electrotango) is the debut album by Buenos Aires-based electronic neo-tango band Tanghetto. The album was released in 2003, reaching gold sales in early 2005. In 2004 "Emigrante (electrotango)" was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award.

Although it is instrumental, there is an underlying concept through the album: how Argentina, historically a country of immigrants, became a country of emigrating people.

The music of "Emigrante" is a balance between the electronically generated sounds and acoustic instruments (bandoneón, piano, and guitar). The album was produced by Max Masri and coproduced by Diego S. Velázquez.

Emigrante reached platinum sales in Argentina by 2006.
