We investigate the presence of discrete gauge symmetries in Grand Unification models based in $SO(10)$ and $E_6$. These models include {\it flipped} and {\it unflipped} $SU(5)$, $SU(4)\!\times\! SU(2)_L\!\times\! SU(2)_R$, $SU(3)_C\!\times\! SU(3)_L\!\times\! SU(3)_R$, and $SU(6)\!\times\! SU(2)$. Using the Dynkin formalism we find the $U(1)$ subalgebras contained in the unified groups, give an expression for the Higgs fields that preserve each discrete symmetry, and determine the low-energy matter content implied by chirality. We discuss two $Z_2$ and three $Z_3$ nonequivalent cases. Among the possibilities found, only the usual $Z_2$ matter parity (R-parity) of supersymmetric extensions is consistent with a minimal matter content with no right- handed neutrinos, extra Higgs doublets, or nonstandard {\it down}-type quarks.
