Brian John Bingman (born December 9, 1953) is an American politician from the U.S. state of Oklahoma who has served in elected and appointed offices since the 1990s. A member of the Republican Party, he was first elected to the Sapulpa city commission in 1992, before being elected mayor by his fellow commissioners in 1994. He would serve in both of these offices until 2004, when he was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives to represent the 30th district. After one term in the house, Bingman ran for the 12th district of the Oklahoma Senate in 2006 and would hold the seat until term limited in 2016. In 2011, he was elected by Republican senators to serve as the President pro tempore of the Oklahoma Senate, a position he would hold until retirement in 2016.
In October 2020, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt appointed him as the Oklahoma Secretary of State and Oklahoma Secretary of Native American Affairs. His secretarial appointments were approved by the Oklahoma Senate in April 2021. He resigned from the Oklahoma Governor's Cabinet in September 2023 to run for Oklahoma Corporation Commissioner in 2024. He is a citizen of the Muscogee Nation.
