Clemente Onelli is a village and municipality in Río Negro Province, in Argentina.^[1] It is located in the Veinticinco de Mayo Department, some 50 kilometers west from Ingeniero Jacobacci. As of 2010, it counted with 114 inhabitants.

Named after Italian-born naturalist Clemente Onelli, the town largely subsisted on cattle raising up until the 1990s. It is located on Ruta Nacional 23 and served by the Tren Patagónico, which has a station located in the village. The closure of the Tren Patagónico railway from 1990 up until 2014 severely affected the town, which saw a pronounced population decrease.^[2]

The town is located on a relatively high steppe (1000 metres, or just over 3000 feet) and is noted for low winter nighttime temperatures: although no climate stations exist nearby, there are reports of temperature below -30°C or -22°F. The closest city, lower-altitude Maquinchao, has reported -25.6°C or -14°F. In normal winter cold waves, temperatures frequently fall below -18°C or 0°F.

The town counts with a single school, Escuela Hogar 104.^[3]
