Iris von Roten-Meyer (1917–1990) was a Swiss journalist, writer, feminist and jurist.

She was the editor of the women's paper Schweizer Frauenblatt in 1943-1945. She was a feminist, inspired by Simone de Beauvoir. She is most known for her feminist work Frauen im Laufgitter: the book received such a massive negative critic and hostility that she was blamed for the fact that the proposal of women suffrage was voted down in 1959. She took the hostility very hard.
