Drew Meyer (born August 29, 1981 in Charleston, South Carolina) is a Major League Baseball player for the Texas Rangers. Meyer made his Major League debut April 21, 2006 in a game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Meyer attended Bishop England High School in Charleston, SC, as well as the University of South Carolina.

Meyer was the Rangers' first round pick in the 2002 draft. Meyer hit .214 in his limited Major League at-bats in 2006, before he was returned to AAA Oklahoma City, where he batted .228/.278/.305. Meyer was designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers on January 12, 2007, and was outrighted to the minor leagues after passing through league-wide waivers on January 22. As this was Meyer's first outright, he did not have the right to decline the assignment. He was also given a non-roster invitation to Spring Training to compete for a spot on the Major League roster.^{[citation needed]}
