Hermes Juan Binner (June 5, 1943 − June 26, 2020) was an Argentine physician and politician who served as Governor of Santa Fe from 2007 to 2011.[1] Binner was the first Socialist to serve as governor of an Argentine province, and the first non-Peronist to rule Santa Fe since the last transition to democracy in 1983.[2]

Binner was previously a member of parliament of the Civic and Social Progressive Front, a Santa Fe party coalition including the Socialist Party, the Radical Civic Union and other left-wing parties, since the parliamentary elections of October 23, 2005.
