Jerome M. Hughes (October 1, 1929 – June 26, 2015) was an American educator and politician.

Hughes graduated from Cretin High School. He then received his bachelor's degree from University of St. Thomas, his master's degree from University of Minnesota, and his doctorate from Wayne State University.

From Maplewood, Minnesota, Hughes was elected to the Senate in 1966, and served for 26 years in the body.

Hughes was a Democrat. Hughes retired from the Senate in 1993.
