Mary Roy (1933 – 1 September 2022) was an Indian educator and women's rights activist, known for winning a lawsuit in 1986, against the inheritance legislation of her Keralite Syrian Christian community in the Supreme Court. The judgement ensured equal rights for Syrian Christian women, with their male siblings in their ancestral property. Till then, the Syrian Christian community followed the provisions of the Travancore Succession Act of 1916, while elsewhere in India the same community followed the Indian Succession Act of 1925.
