Ernst Wilhelm Meyer (1779–1868) was a prominent German organ builder in the Kingdom of Hanover. He apprenticed with Hinrich Just Müller in Wittmund and Hoforgelbauer Wilhelm Heinrich Bethmann in Hanover, followed by journeyman years working with notable organ builders such as Johann Wolfgang Witzmann in Bremen and Johann Wilhelm Grüneberg in Brandenburg. In 1806, Meyer settled in Hanover and established his own workshop in 1810. He married Christiane Jochums and was appointed Hoforgelbauer (court organ builder) in 1834, a position he had aspired to since the death of Christian Bethmann in 1833.

Meyer's reputation grew quickly, leading to a wide array of commissions throughout the Kingdom of Hanover and beyond, including the delivery of an organ to Wyborg, then part of Finland. He became known for his exceptional craftsmanship and was frequently called upon for expert evaluations by the consistory. Despite competition from Philipp Furtwängler and others, Meyer's workshop flourished, building over 100 organs. His sons, Eduard and Carl Wilhelm Meyer, joined the business, with Carl Wilhelm taking over the workshop in 1838. The Meyer workshop maintained its excellent reputation until it closed in 1870, two years after Ernst Wilhelm's death.
