George A. Meyer (born 1957) is a producer and Emmy Award-winning writer best known for his work on the long-running animated television comedy The Simpsons.

Meyer has been publicly credited with "thoroughly shap[ing]...the comedic sensibility" of The Simpsons ; in 2000, Mike Scully, the show runner for the series at the time, called him "the best comedy writer in Hollywood" and "the main reason" why The Simpsons is still so good after all these years." Jon Vitti, another of the show's writer/producers (and also Meyer's brother-in-law), has said Meyer "exerts as much influence on the show as anyone can without being one of the creators." blank">For Simpsons Writer Meyer, Comedy is No Laughing Matter, a June 2003 article from the _Harvard Crimson
