Meron Estefanos (born 6 January 1974) is a Swedish-Eritrean human rights activist and journalist.
She first became known in the Eritrean refugee community in 2011 for helping people who had been kidnapped and tortured by human traffickers on their way to Israel in order to extort ransom money from their relatives, exemplified in the 2013 documentary film Sound of Torture.
