The '''Rural Municipality of Argyle No. 1''' ([[Canada 2016 Census|2016 population]]: {{nts|290}}) is a [[List of rural municipalities in Saskatchewan|rural municipality]] (RM) in the [[Provinces and territories of Canada|Canadian province]] of [[Saskatchewan]] within [[Division No. 1, Saskatchewan|Census Division No. 1]] and [[SARM Division No. 1|{{abbr|SARM|Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities}} Division No. 1]].
