Hugo Eric Flores Cervantes is a Mexican politician and founder of the Social Encounter Party (PES). He is the party's national president and one of its eight federal deputies in the LXIII Legislature of the Mexican Congress.

Flores obtained a law degree from National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1992 and two degrees from Harvard University: a master's degree in public, economic and gubernatorial law in 1996, as well as a J.D. in 2001. In addition to becoming a partner at the law firm of Durán, Flores and Soria, he was the pastor of Casa sobre la Roca (House on the Rock), a Neo-Pentecostal church which supported Felipe Calderón in the 2006 presidential elections.

In 2006, Social Encounter was founded as a national political group, which unlike a party, is not federally funded; it also organized as a party in Baja California. That same year, after Calderón's election, he obtained a civil service position in the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT). After six months in the post, he was accused by the secretariat's internal oversight agency for disobeying orders from the secretary and altering a document, prompting his removal and barring him from a public service position until 2020. Additionally, for the LX and LXI Legislatures, Flores was an unused alternate senator for the National Action Party; he had previously been an alternate federal deputy for the Institutional Revolutionary Party.
