Argir (IPA: [ˈaɹʤɪɹ], danska: Arge) är en ort med 2 006 invånare (2015)[1] på ön Streymoy i Torshamns kommun på Färöarna. Orten har under senare tid växt mer och mer ihop med huvudstaden Torshamn och är sedan 1997 del av Torshamns kommun.
Mellan 1985 och 2005 växte Argir med över 600 invånare[1] och stadsdelen sträcker sig numera långt upp på berget. Argir har en båthamn, en roddklubb Argja Róðrarfelag, som är en av landets bästa. Argir har också ett fotbollslag, Argja Bóltfelag. Kyrkan i Argir byggdes 1974. Under 1500-talet fanns ett spetälskesjukhus i Argir, som även tog hand om de fattigaste. Då spetälskan försvann omkring 1750 användes sjukhuset som arbetsplats för de fattiga.

Football match in the Faroese Premier League (Vodafonedeildin) on 23 October 2010, which was day when the final matches in Vodafonedeildin were played. Nothing was settled before this day, other than the fact that AB Argir was one of two teams which would be relegated. This photo is from the match between AB Argir and FC Suðuroy. If FC Suðuroy won or at least got one point, they would have survived in the best Faroese division, because the other team which could be relegated before this match was B71 Sandoy, and they lost 1-9 against NSÍ Runavík. B71 Sandoy had one point more than FC Suðuroy before this match and the result was the same after all the matches were played. FC Suðuroy lost 1-0 against AB Argir. On this photo are: The man in Teitur Tausen from FC Suðuroy. The man with number 12 on his back is Jákup Pætursson Dam. The goal keeper is FC Suðuroy's goal keeper from Slovenia, Stanislav Kuzma. The football stadium is Inni í Vika Stadium in Argir. The harbour of Tórshavn and a part of Nólsoy island are visible in the back ground.
