Romildo Magalhães da Silva (9 April 1946 – 14 July 2024) was a Brazilian politician who briefly served as the governor of the state of Acre from 1991 to 1992. He was initially the vice-governor, but was elevated to the post after the assassination of then-governor Edmundo Pinto.[1] Magalhães was succeeded by Orleir Cameli. Prior to entering state politics, he was the mayor of the city of Feijó from 1978 to 1982, and later served again from 1997 to 2000. Magalhães would later be imprisoned on corruption charges due to illegal usage of public coffers and administrative impropriety.[2]
Magalhães died on 14 July 2024 in the capital of Rio Branco after having been hospitalized due to diabetes complications. He was 78.[2]
