Jorge Pedro Busti (b. 18 October 1947) is an Argentine politician, formerly Justicialist Party governor and senator for Entre Ríos Province.
Busti was born in Concordia, Entre Ríos and graduated as a lawyer at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
Busti served as Mayor of Concordia 1983-87 and was first elected governor in 1987. In 1991 he retired as governor and was once again elected Mayor of Concordia. From 1995 to 1999 Busti returned for a second term as governor, then in 1999 became a deputy in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies. In 2001, he was elected to the Argentine Senate, but stepped down in 2003 after being elected for a third term as governor. Two of his former vice-governors have been investigated or prosecuted for corruption.
