Melissa Meyer (born May 4, 1946) is an American painter. The Wall Street Journal has referred to her as a "lighthearted Abstract Expressionist".

In 1997 her sketchbooks were published in facsimile by the Mezzanine Gallery of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In 2001-2002, she completed two large lobby murals for the Shiodome City Center, designed by Roche-Dinkeloo and Associates, in the Minato district of Tokyo.
