The Pilagá () are an indigenous people of the Guaycuru group that inhabits the center of the province of Formosa, in Argentina. Some migrant groups also live in the provinces of Chaco and Santa Fe.

Their language is part of the Mataco-Guaicurú linguistic family. They are closely related to the Toba people, and about 2000 of them speak their own language, along with the Spanish language. Since 1996, they have been writing Pilagá in a Latin alphabet of 4 vowels and 19 consonants.
