General La Madrid is a town in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. It is the administrative seat of General La Madrid Partido.

The settlement was founded on February 14, 1890, by provincial law. Before that time, it was a small trading center known as Centro La Gama, next to a railroad line (Ferrocarril Roca Sud) since 1883.

It has a summer resort named Balneario Eduardo Baraboglia made on the shores of the Arroyo Salado, 3 km away from the city.
