General Belgrano II is an Argentine research station in Antarctica located at coord|77|52|S|34|37|W|.

In 1955 General Hernan Pujato founded the first "Belgrano" station, remaining for years as the southernmost base. On February 5, 1979 the "Belgrano II" was opened as replacement of the previous base. A third base, "Belgrano III" worked from 1980 to 1984, but the second one is the only one running, and its as of 2006 the southernmost permanent Argentine base on the continent.
