Héctor Téran Terán (April 3 1931—October 4 1998) was a Mexican politician, member of the National Action Party (PAN), and was governor of the Mexican state of Baja California.

Héctor Terán Terán received his degree in Large Business Administration from the Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior (CETYS), and was made leader of his party for the state of Baja California. He was a governor-candidate three times, in 1977 when he lost to the PRI candidate Roberto de la Madrid Romandía, in 1983 when he lost to Xicoténcatl Leyva Mortera, and finally in 1995 when he triumphed, becoming the second PAN governor of Baja California.

Previously, he was a "Diputado" (congressman) to the Congress of Baja California between 1980—1983, "Diputado Federal" (federal congressman) to the 53rd Legislature from 1985 to 1988, and in 1989, first governor from the PAN party, Ernesto Ruffo Appel, appointed him to be the "Secretario General de Gobierno" (State Secretary General), holding this position until 1991 when he joined the Mexican Senate, becoming the first PAN senator in history. He asked the permission of the Senate to be the candidate for Governor of Baja California and won in the 1995 state election, assuming his post on November 1 of the same year.

Héctor Terán Terán died of a heart attack on October 4, 1998 while exercising on the Governor's Estate.
