Mary Fragedakis (born April 22, 1971)^[1] is a Canadian politician, who was elected to Toronto City Council in the 2010 city council election to succeed Case Ootes in Ward 29.^[2]

Prior to her election, Fragedakis was involved for the previous nine years with Open Dialogue, a conference and seminar organizing company. Fragedakis has two degrees in political science. She is also one of the founders of the Broadview Community Youth Group.

According to the Toronto Sun, Fragedakis "doesn't shy away from the title of being the NDP candidate in the ward." The Sun also reports that she sees eye-to-eye with Mayor Rob Ford on several of his campaign pledges including cutting the personal vehicle tax and the land transfer tax.^[3]

Fragedakis was critical of the KPMG Report recommending cuts to services and programs without studying the implications of the proposed cuts.^[4]
