Plaza Intendente Alvear is a public space in Recoleta, Buenos Aires. It is commonly but mistakenly known as Plaza Francia, as the actual Plaza Francia is located at its side. It faces the Recoleta Cemetery and the cultural center.

The plaza gained fame in the 1960s for its vibrant street fair. Over the years, the fair has evolved to include not only authentic artisans and craftspeople but also a diverse array of street vendors and merchants offering a broad range of goods.
