The Las Colonias Department (in Spanish, Departamento Las Colonias) is an administrative subdivision (departamento) of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina. It is located in the center of the province. Starting from the east and going clockwise, it limits with the departments of La Capital, San Jerónimo, San Martín, Castellanos, San Cristóbal, and San Justo. Las Colonias is thus one of only three provincial departments that do not share a border with another province.
The name of this department (which means "The Colonies") derives from the fact that it was settled mostly by immigrant families under the system of agricultural colonies, of which Esperanza was the first formally organized in Argentina.
