Eduard Meyer (1806–1889) was a distinguished German organ builder in the Kingdom of Hanover, known for his traditionalist approach to organ construction. He was the son of Ernst Wilhelm Meyer, a prominent court organ builder, and took over the family workshop in Hanover along with his younger brother, Carl Wilhelm, in 1838. While Eduard Meyer focused on the artistic aspects of organ building, his brother handled the technical planning and outfitting. The Meyer workshop was known for producing organs in the early Romantic style, maintaining continuity with the late Baroque traditions. This approach contrasted with their main competitor, Philipp Furtwängler, whose style was more progressive and who produced organs in greater quantities.

Despite their craftsmanship and adherence to traditional methods, the Meyer workshop faced increasing competition and challenges, leading to its closure in 1870 after producing around 100 new organs. Eduard Meyer's work is remembered for its quality and dedication to the artistic heritage of organ building, even as the industry around him evolved and modernized. His contributions to the field are still appreciated today, particularly in the context of early Romantic organ music.
