Mery Segunda Zamora García (born April 19, 1972) is an Ecuadorian trade unionist, teacher, and politician. She was president of the National Union of Educators (UNE) from 2007 to 2010, a term which coincided with the beginning of the government of Rafael Correa. She became a prominent critic of this regime, and was a frequent target of verbal abuse on Correa's Citizen Link broadcasts, culminating with an accusation of terrorism and sabotage in 2010. Legal proceedings against her were eventually dropped after a successful appeal.
Since 2014 she has been the first deputy director of the Popular Unity party.
