Mary Simpson (c.1932 – 22 November 2020) was a Northern Irish unionist politician.
Simpson was honorary secretary of the Central Armagh Unionist Association from 1974 until 1983,[1] and was elected to Craigavon Borough Council for the Ulster Unionist Party at the 1977 local elections. She held her seat in 1981,[2] and served as Mayor of Craigavon in 1981/2, the first woman to hold the post.
At the 1982 Northern Ireland Assembly election, Simpson stood in Armagh. She took only 721 first-preference votes, leaving her in last position, but she was elected on transfers from party colleagues.[3] At the Assembly, she served on the Environment Committee and as vice-chair of the Education Committee. She was re-elected to her council seat in 1985, but stood down in 1989.[4]
In 1990, Simpson served as Chair of the Craigavon and District Housing Association.
Simpson died on 22 November 2020 at the age of 88.[5]
