Zárate is a port city in the northeast of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It lies on the western shore of the Paraná River, 90 km (56 mi) from Buenos Aires. Its population as per the 2001 census [INDEC] is 101,271 inhabitants. It is the headquarters for and the only city in the partido of the same name.

Zárate and Campana are main points of an important industrial region. The city is located at one end of the Zárate-Brazo Largo Bridge, which joins Buenos Aires with the province of Entre Ríos and allows communication with the Argentine Mesopotamia and from there to Brazil and Uruguay.

The city was founded on March 19, 1854.

Following European colonization, the lands were distributed in grants. The first Spanish owners weren't able to use them productively, so their ownership was passed to the Jesuits, who were then expelled by Charles III of Spain.

The Zárate Partido was founded on March 19, 1854, separating it from Exaltación de la Cruz.
