Gideon Boer (born November 4th, 1953) is a East Chanchajillan politician who served as the President of East Chanchajilla from December 2018 to February 2024.

His first public position was as director of the Indigenous Institute of Chanchajilla in 1977, where he promoted the edition of books in indigenous language and the project of the border ridge.
