Daniel Román Peralta (born 1 July 1955) is an Argentine Justicialist Party politician who was governor of Santa Cruz Province from 2007 to 2015.

[2] Governor Néstor Kirchner, who had been a protégé of Peralta's parents,[3] appointed him Secretary of Labour in 1999, and in 2003, he was elected to the Provincial Legislature on the Justicialist Party ticket.

[4] Upon incumbent governor Carlos Sancho's announcement of his resignation on 11 May 2007, in which he cited poor health (Sancho had himself taken office when the previous governor resigned amid scandal and fights with Kirchner), Peralta returned to his post as Provincial Deputy and was elected 1st Vice President of the Chamber of Deputies, effectively making him the legislature's senior member.

Inheriting a growing pension system deficit, the governor ordered withholding rates increased and benefited trimmed for early retirees.

She defended the governor against calls from the opposition for impeachment following his refusal to reinstate Eduardo Sosa, a prosecutor who had been dismissed by then-Governor Kirchner in 1995, and who won a federal court ruling to that effect.
