Matthew Kugler Meigs (February 5, 1812 – October 9, 1889) was an American educator, scholar, and Presbyterian clergyman.

Although best known as the founder and principal (headmaster) of The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Meigs also served a short term as U.S. Consul to Piraeus, Greece, pastored churches, and preceded his time at The Hill School with teaching posts at a variety of other secondary and university level institutions including a short term as President of Delaware College (subsequently the University of Delaware).

[7] Meigs early academic career included posts at schools in South Carolina, Winchester, Virginia, and the University of Michigan.

[6][11] Meigs died on October 9, 1889, in Clifton Springs, New York, and was buried in Edgewood Cemetery in Pottstown.

[6][11] However, the Journal of the Presbyterian Historical Society, The University of Delaware Archives, and The Union Theological Seminary Alumni Catalog give October 10 as date of death.
