Joseph Meert (1905 - 1989) was an American artist who created three New Deal post office murals.

His teachers included Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller, Boardman Robinson, and John Sloan.

The friendship continued into the 1940s, when Meert retrieved a drunken Pollock from a snow bank into which he had fallen, unconscious.
