Rod Gantefoer (born May 15, 1947) is a Canadian provincial politician.[1] He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1995 to 2011, representing the constituencies of Melfort-Tisdale from 1995 to 2003 and Melfort from 2003 to 2011.

Originally elected as a Liberal,[2] he became part of the Saskatchewan Party caucus in 1997.[3] In April 1998, Gantefoer was a candidate for the Saskatchewan Party leadership,[4] but was defeated on the second ballot by Elwin Hermanson.[5]

After the Saskatchewan Party's victory in the 2007 election, he was appointed Minister of Finance and Government House Leader.[6]

Gantefoer announced in February 2010 that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease,[7] and later announced that he would not run in the 2011 election.[8] He was shuffled out of cabinet on June 29, 2010.[9]
