Dina Meyer (born December 22, 1968 in Queens, New York) is an American film actress.

Meyer, who is of Jewish heritage,[1] is said to have loved dancing and acting from an early age, but it wasn't until after she graduated from university that she started to work to become an actress.

Meyer's film debut was in the TV film Strapped in 1993, although her role in the cyberpunk thriller Johnny Mnemonic was perhaps her breakthrough performance.
