The aim of the study was to identify the 100 most cited articles on COVID-19 from Latin America and the Caribbean, published in Spanish. The records were obtained from the Web of Science. The following were examined: number of citations, authorship, geographic coverage, collaboration, journal and thematic categories. The 100 articles were published in 41 journals. The most cited journal was Salud Pública de México (10 articles; 75 citations). Mexico was the top performer (28 articles; 201 citations). The most cited authors were: C. Alpuche-Aranda and E. Lazcano-Ponce, affiliated with the most cited institution, the National Institute of Public Health of Mexico (n= 7). The main Web of Science category was Medicine, General & Internal (36 articles; 173 citations). Epidemiology was the most worked topic. There was no correlation between international collaboration and the highest number of citations (r= 0.15, p= 0.1). The study may help to recognize the visibility of the most cited research.

Palabras clave : bibliometric indicators; COVID-19; Latin America.
