Bina Deneen (née Maloney; February 14, 1868 – October 30, 1950) was an American civic leader who served as the First Lady of Illinois from 1904 to 1912. She was the first two-term first lady of Illinois, and the first to give birth in the Illinois Executive Mansion. She was the wife of Charles S. Deneen. Known at the time as "the ideal wife for a governor" for her calm and unassuming style, she was also an active participant in her husband's campaigns, and in the woman's club movement.
