Charles Meylan (23 June 1868, Le Brassus – 3 June 1941, Sainte-Croix) was a Swiss botanist.
From 1888 to 1926 he was a schoolteacher in the community of La Chaux, located near Sainte-Croix (Canton of Vaud). In 1922 he obtained an honorary doctorate from the University of Lausanne.[1] He made contributions in the fields of lichenology and bryology (mosses and liverworts), and is also known for his research of Myxomycetes.[2]
Taxa with the specific epithet of meylanii honor him, two examples being Calypogeia meylanii and Hymenostomum meylanii.[1]
