Pedro de Garmendia (1794-1865) was briefly Governor of Tucumán Province in Argentina from December 1840 to January 1841 during a civil war between Unitarian and Federalist factions.
Pedro de Garmendia was a wealthy resident of San Miguel de Tucumán, born in 1794 to José Ignacio de Garmendia y Aguirre and Elena Alurralde. His house was on what today is the corner of 24 de Septiembre and Laprida, across from the cathedral. He was a member of the Tucumán House of Representatives that declared against the rule of Juan Manuel de Rosas, and was a minister of Governor Bernabé Piedrabuena.[1]
