Luis Beder Herrera (born 26 May 1951, Campanas, La Rioja, Argentina) is an Argentine Justicialist Party (PJ) politician. He is current governor of La Rioja Province.

Herrera graduated as a lawyer in 1976 from the National University of the Littoral. In 1983 he was re-elected as a provincial deputy for the Famatina Department, serving until 1989 with a period as 1st Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies. In 1991 he became coordinating minister of government for the province and in 1995 he was elected Vice Governor as running mate to Ángel Maza.

In 2006, Maza and Herrera had a public falling out over the following year's election. Maza wanted to stand for a further term. The dispute involved the provincial legislature, and Maza was eventually forced to resign in March 2007, with Herrera succeeding him. Beder Herrera was formally elected as governor in October 2007.
