Harrie Meyers, also known by his native name Harie Meijers, (5 December 1879 – 14 April 1928) was a Dutch track cyclist.[1] He won a silver medal in the sprint event at the 1900 and 1902 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, as well as a bronze medal in 1903. He also won the Dutch national sprint championships in 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1902 and the Grand Prix de Paris in 1902 and 1903.

At the 1900 Summer Olympics, Meyers won the tandem with Gian Ferdinando Tomaselli and the sprint event. However, these events were not contested for medals.[2] He also won the tandem with Tomaselli at the 1900 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, which was also considered an unofficial event.
