The present invention provides an electrophotographic toner binder containing, as a main component, a polymer whose constituent monomer is a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond, the electrophotographic toner binder being excellent in low-temperature fixability, hot-offset resistance, and storage stability. The present invention provides an electrophotographic toner binder containing a polymer (A) containing a monomer (a) and a monomer (x) different from the monomer (a) as essential constituent monomers, wherein the monomer (a) is a (meth)acrylate having a C18-C36 acyclic hydrocarbon group, the polymer (A) has an acid value of 40 or less, and the polymer (A) satisfies the following relational expression (1): 1.1 (cal/cm3)0.5≤|SP(x)−SP(a)|≤8.0 (cal/cm3)0.5 relational expression (1): wherein SP(a) is the SP value of a structural unit derived from the monomer (a) constituting the polymer (A); and SP(x) is the SP value of a structural unit derived from the monomer (x) different from the monomer (a) constituting the polymer (A).
