Arnoldo Ferreto Segura was a Costa Rican politician and a leader of the Popular Vanguard Party.

He was born on July 25, 1910, in Heredia Centro.[1][2] He grew up in Heredia Centro, where he graduated from the Escuela Normal de Costa Rica and went on to work as a teacher.[1][2]

Ferreto Segura joined the Communist Party of Costa Rica.[1] He was jailed in 1934 following a banana plantation workers' strike.[2] For sixteen years, Ferreto Segura was member of the Heredia municipal council.[2] Again, he was jailed after the 1948 civil war.[2]

Ferreto Seguro was elected from Puntarenas Province in the 1974 Costa Rican general election.[3] He was re-elected to parliament in the 1982 Costa Rican general election.[4]

In November 1983, the PVP held its third party congress. Along with Humberto Vargas Carbonell, Ferreto Segura led a purge of the followers of Manuel Mora Valverde.[5] Ferreto Segura and Vargas Carbonell represented a more hard-line position than the older leadership.[6] After the congress Mora Valverde refused the post as (honorary) chairman, and Ferreto Segura was named party chairman instead.[5]

He died on March 8, 1996, in San José.[2]
