Mary Adelaide Lundby (February 2, 1948 – January 17, 2009) was a state Senator from the Iowa's 18th District. She served in the Iowa Senate from 1995 to 2009, serving as Minority Leader from 2006 to 2007 and as Co-Majority Leader in 2006. She also served in the Iowa House of Representatives from 1987 to 1995, serving as Speaker pro Tempore from 1992 to 1994. Prior to her election to the Iowa House, Lundby had served as the co-chair of the Linn County Republican party, as a member of the Linn County Republican Central Committee, and as staff assistant to then-senator Roger Jepsen. She graduated from Upper Iowa University, majoring in Political Science and History.[1]

Lundby served on several committees in the Iowa Senate - the Government Oversight committee; the Natural Resources and Environment committee; and the Rules and Administration committee.

Lundby was re-elected in 2004 with 20,686 votes (60%), defeating Democratic opponent Lorna Richards.[2] Lundby didn't run for re-election in 2008, opting to run for Linn County supervisor instead.[3] In June 2008, Lundby withdrew from the supervisor race, as her cancer had returned.[1]

Lundby died on January 17, 2009, after a three-year battle with cervical cancer.[1]

Her son, Daniel Lundby, was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives in 2012 as a Democrat.
