Hermes Lima (pronounced as /pt/; 22 December 1902[1] – 10 October 1978) was Brazilian politician who was the prime minister of Brazil, jurist, and winner of the 1975 Prêmio Machado de Assis.

Political career

He originally became an elected federal deputy of the National Democratic Union in 1945, but two years later co-founded and joined the Brazilian Socialist Party.[2] He was described as one of the members of the party who was a "liberal with a legal background." Under João Goulart he served as Labour Minister[3] and later as Prime Minister (from 18 September 1962 until 23 January 1963).[4] He would go on to serve in the Brazilian Supreme Court before being forced into retirement by the military dictatorship in 1969.[5]
