August Meitzen (German pronunciation: [ˈaʊɡʊst ˈmaɪtsn̩]; born 16 December 1822, in Breslau; died 19 January 1910, in Berlin) was a German statistician.

He was born in Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland) and educated at Heidelberg and Tübingen. He was a prominent member of the Statistical Bureau, and in 1875 was made an associate professor of political sciences (Staatswissenschaften) at the University of Berlin (honorary professor from 1892).[1] Between 1889 and 1891, he advised Max Weber in his completion of his post-doctoral habilitation, a thesis that Weber titled Roman Agrarian History and Its Significance for Public and Private Law.[2]
