Ezra Meech (July 26, 1773 - September 23, 1856) was a United States Representative from Vermont. He was born in New London, Connecticut and moved to Hinesburg, Vermont in 1785. He attended the common schools and also engaged in the fur trade in the Northwest and in ship-timber contracts in Canada. He moved to Shelburne, Vermont and engaged in agricultural pursuits and stock raising.

Meech was a member of the Vermont House of Representatives 1805-1807. He was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Sixteenth Congress (March 4, 1819 - March 3, 1821). He was a delegate to the state constitutional conventions in 1822 and 1826, and was chief justice of Chittenden County Court in 1822 and 1823.

Meech was elected as a Jacksonian to the Nineteenth Congress (March 4, 1825 - March 3, 1827). He was an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Governor of Vermont in 1830, 1831, 1832, and 1833. He served as a presidential elector on the Whig ticket in 1840. He resumed agricultural pursuits and later died in Shelburne in 1856. Meech was buried in Shelburne Cemetery.
