Baron Mihály Mérey de Kaposmére (Mérei; 1500 – 26 February 1572) was a Hungarian jurist and noble, who served as Palatinal Governor (Hungarian: nádori helytartó) in the Kingdom of Hungary, between 1562 and 1572.
[1] Mérey studied law in the court of Elek Thurzó, the Royal Governor of Hungary.
He was appointed Chief Justice (Hungarian: királyi személynök) by Ferdinand I in 1544.
He held that office until 1562, when he was elected Palatinal Governor (or Vice-palatine), after the death of Tamás Nádasdy.
During his tenure, he received substantial estate donations: he acquired, among others, Éberhárd Castle (today: Malinovo, Slovakia), and the large areas of Somogy and Trencsén Counties.
