Eduardo Alfredo Fellner (born 1954) is an Argentine Justicialist Party (PJ) politician, current governor of Jujuy Province.

Fellner became governor mid-term when Carlos Ferraro (who had also taken over mid-term just two years before) resigned in an institutional crisis. He was elected in 1999 and 2003

Fellner became the national leader of the Justicialist Party in 2004, chairing its national council. However he resigned the same year in the fallout of a row between supporters of President Néstor Kirchner, to whom Fellner is loyal, and provincial party leaders.

Fellner is attempting to change the provincial constitution ahead of the 2007 election so that he can stand for re-election for a third full term [1].
