Mera is a fictional comic book character from the DC universe. She is the former queen of Atlantis and ex-wife of the DC Comic book super hero Aquaman. A humanoid alien coming from a watery dimension, she befriended the King of Atlantis in one of her first adventures, eventually falling in love and marrying him. She has long red hair, blue eyes, stands 5'9", weighs 160 lbs, and can form structures out of hard water.

The trauma of losing her son at the hands of Black Manta drove Mera to leave her husband. Briefly stuck in the hellish dimension called the Netherworld she has since returned. She remains estranged from Aquaman, despite hints of lingering affection, and reigns as the Queen of Atlantis after Aquaman's exile. However she is merely a puppet queen for the new Sorcery Elite, and was recently punished by the sorcerers of Atlantis by being turned into an air-breathing human maiden.

After the One Year Later event Mera regained her water breathing abilities, if not her full strength, and became the leader of a small rebel army, taking under her protection some refugees from the lost Atlantis, and the new [[Aquaman#Aquaman:_Sword_of_Atlantis|Aquaman]].
