Frederick "Fred" Julius Meyer (May 17, 1900 – March 12, 1983) was an American wrestler who competed in the 1920 Summer Olympics. Meyer, who was Jewish was born in Chicago and died in Los Angeles. In 1920 he won the bronze medal in the freestyle wrestling heavyweight class. As part of a trend in which religious and ethnic organizations used their facilities to develop competitive athletes, Meyer was one of a number of national champions whose skills were fostered at the Chicago Hebrew Institute.〔("Wrestling" ), ''Encyclopedia of Chicago''.
