Hermanus Meyer (born in Bremen, Lower Saxony, 27 July 1733; died near Pompton Township, New Jersey, 27 October 1791) was a clergyman of the Dutch Reformed Church in America around the time of the Revolutionary War.
Meyer found the church divided by the old quarrel of the Coetus and Conferentie parties as to whether ordination should take place in this country or in the Netherlands.
He sympathized with the Coetus party in favor of a ministry trained in America, and his pungent preaching caused dissatisfaction.
The ecclesiastical difficulties culminated in his suspension from active duties by an illegal body of Conferentie ministers in 1766, and for nearly seven years he remained in Kingston, preaching to his adherents in private houses.
The general synod elected him to two chairs in their theological institution — that of Hebrew in 1784, and that of lector in divinity in 1786, which he held until his death.
