Meir Pa'il (Hebrew: מאיר פעיל‎; 19 June 1926 – 15 September 2015) was an Israeli politician, military historian and a former colonel in the Israel Defense Forces.

He joined the "Working Youth" movement in 1937 and served in an active signal unit for the Haganah.

He participated in a series of operations, including the smuggling of illegal Jewish immigrants from Syria and Lebanon, the Saison, the Night of the Bridges, and an attack on a British police position on Mount Canaan.

[citation needed] In 1973, he was among the founders of the Blue-Red Movement, which merged with Maki to form Moked, which Pa'il headed.

The party merged with several others to form the Left Camp of Israel prior to the 1977 elections.
