Mercedes Gloria Salguero Gross (September 24, 1941 – November 1, 2015) was a Salvadoran politician, businesswoman and a one of the founders of the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA). She served as the President of the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador from 1994 to 1997.

Salguero Gross was the daughter of Miguel Ángel Salguero and Victoria Carolina Gross de Salguero, landowners with investments in agriculture and livestock; the latter was of German ancestry and worked both as a landowner and as a lawyer.

She completed her primary and secondary school studies at the Colegio La Asunción in Santa Ana and San Salvador. She studied Economics at Central American University "José Simeón Cañas." In Europe, she studied world history, geography, literature, and art in Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom. She spoke Spanish, English, German, and French.

Salguero Gross was the second female President of the Legislative Assembly, but was the first to serve a full term from 1994 to 1997, since María Julia Castillo Rodas, of the National Coalition Party, was the first woman to serve in this office in the history of the country between 1983 and 1985, but did not serve full term. Later, Salguero Gross was named Presidential Commissioner for the Democratic Governance from 2004 to 2009.
