Hermes Rodrigues da Fonseca (May 12, 1855 - September 9, 1923) was a Brazilian soldier and politician. The nephew of Deodoro da Fonseca, the first Brazilian President, he was War Minister in 1906. In 1910, he was elected as the 8th president of Brazil, serving until 1914.
By coincidence, after being elected President, he was on an official visit to Portugal, where he was surprised by the revolution that overthrew the monarchy and replaced it with a new Republican regime.
