NGC 7469 is a well-known luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) hosting a Seyfert 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN). Nuclear (AGN-driven) winds have been observed in X-rays and UV with velocities in the range of 500-2000 km/s by different authors. We use archival optical integral field spectroscopy observations with MUSE in order to look for an extended and spatially resolved counterpart of these winds. We find a high ionization outflow with velocities up to ~1000 km/s traced by the [O III] 5007 emission line, probably driven by the AGN, and not kinetically coupled with a lower ionization wind (with velocities 200-300 km/s), traced by the HI recombination lines, associated with the well-known starburst circumnuclear ring. A kinetic coupling of high and low ionization winds is often assumed for estimating wind physical parameters, which is not the case here. Implications are discussed.
