The Governor of Santa Fe (Spanish: Gobernador de la Provincia de Santa Fe) is a citizen of Santa Fe Province, in Argentina, holding the office of governor for the corresponding period. Currently the governor of Santa Fe is Omar Perotti, of the Justicialist Party.[1]

According to the provincial constitution (sanctioned in 1962),[2] the governor is elected by the simple majority of the popular vote, along with a vice governor, for a four-year term, and cannot be re-elected consecutively. The governor must be a native Argentine citizen or the child of a native citizen, and must either have been born in the province or resided continuously in the province during the two years prior to the election.
