Hans Meyer (born 3 November 1942 in Briesen (today near Bílina, Czech Republic)) is a German former football player and manager. He was most recently under contract with 1. FC Nuremberg. Meyer is the only coach to win both the DFB-Pokal and the FDGB-Pokal. In 2001, Meyer led second-division club Borussia Mönchengladbach to promotion to the 1. Fußball-Bundesliga, the first East German coach to achieve the feat with a West German side. Meyer next took the reins at Hertha BSC Berlin in mid-season in 2003, successfully leading the club through a protracted relegation fight. Following this feat he announced his retirement from coaching, turning down a contract extension with Hertha. Meyer found the thrill of the relegation battle too great to resist, however; he took over at last-place 1. FC Nuremberg in autumn of 2005, leading the squad to an eighth-place finish and firmly establishing his reputation as a "fireman" who could extinguish a team's crisis. His coaching success continued in the following season which ended with a sixth-place showing for Nuremberg and the capture of the DFB-Pokal. In the 2007/2008 season, Meyer's luck had run out, and after a series of bruising defeats Nuremberg found itself in the drop zone once again. Meyer was fired by club management on February 11, 2008.

Besides his talent as a trainer, he is famous for ironic and sarcastic answers in interviews. He remains very popular in Jena, where his career started, and in Nuremberg for winning the DFB-Cup.

Meyer was featured on the cover of EA Sports' video game FUSSBALL MANAGER 08 (FIFA Manager 08, German version only).
