Yigal Meir (Hebrew: יגאל מאיר) (20 November 1957) is the Graham Beck professor of Quantum Science and Technology at Ben Gurion University, specializing in condensed matter;[1] in particular mesoscopic physics, disordered systems and strongly correlated materials.

Meir was educated in Tel Aviv University, where he obtained a PhD in theoretical condensed matter physics under the supervision of Amnon Aharony and Yoseph Imry.

He held postdoctoral positions at MIT (1989–91), with Patrick Lee, and at the University of California at Santa Barbara (1991–94), with Walter Kohn.

Early in his career, he concentrated on transport through quantum dots, explaining the Coulomb oscillations in the measured electric current.

In 2008 he won the Ben Gurion University President Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement, during the celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the independence of the State of Israel.
