María Pía Guzmán Mena (born 23 June 1957, Santiago) is a Chilean lawyer, academic, and politician who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies for District 23 from 1998 to 2006. Before entering politics, she built a prominent career in family law, legal reform, and public policy, holding advisory roles in the Ministry of Justice and at several civic and academic institutions. A member of the National Renewal Party, she also served in senior party leadership positions, including as chief of staff to party president Andrés Allamand. During her parliamentary tenure, she sat on key legislative commissions dealing with constitutional affairs, justice, family policy, and public security.
In 2003, Guzmán became widely known for her public allegations linking unnamed legislators to the Spiniak paedophilia case, a controversy that resulted in legal and political repercussions but ultimately ended with a court ruling in her favour. Aside from her public career, she has been active in journalism, civil society organisations, and legal education.
