Sir Frank Cecil Meyer, 2nd Baronet (7 May 1886 – 19 October 1935) was a British businessman and Conservative Party politician.
The son of German born businesman Sir Carl Meyer, Meyer was also successful in business, becoming vice-chairman of the De Beers diamond cartel. He was educated at New College, Oxford.
At the 1924 general election, he was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, defeating the Liberal MP Sir Arthur Harbord. Harbord retook the seat at the 1929 general election, and Meyer never re-entered Parliament.
His son, Sir Anthony Meyer, was also a Conservative MP.
