Meier Valley (67°8′S 67°24′W) is a valley close east of Mount St. Louis on Arrowsmith Peninsula in Graham Land, Antarctica. It was mapped from air photos taken by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition in 1956-57, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Mark F. Meier, an American geologist who in 1952 made the first detailed study of strain all over the surface of a glacier.
