Elder Jacob O. Meyer (November 11, 1934 – April 9, 2010) was an American religious leader, best known for founding the Assemblies of Yahweh. He also worked as a farmer, broadcaster and author. Meyer was instrumental in establishing educational institutions and publications that have significantly influenced religious thought and practice including the Narrow Way magazine.

Elder Meyer is credited with coining the terms Messianic and Spiritual Israelites to define the adherents of the Assemblies of Yahweh, emphasizing their commitment to following biblical teachings and embracing what they believe is a restored understanding of faith. The Assemblies of Yahweh is often grouped with the Sacred Name Movement by outside observers; however, it does not identify with that movement and maintains a distinct theological foundation, organizational structure, and set of practices.
