Meri may refer to:

In the mythology of the Bororo people of Brazil, Meri is a folk hero and sun-god.

A feature of Saturn's moon Hyperion has been named after him.


The Meri is also a book written by Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff. In this book, the meri is an aspect of their god; a feminine figure that changes appearance once a century and who selects their spiritual leaders - men called Osraeds.


In shakuhachi music, meri is a modification to a note by embouchure and/or fingering resulting in a lowered pitch and subdued timbre. It is the opposite of kari.
