Meir Posner (1735-1807), also known as Meir Munk Posner, was a Prussian rabbi regarded as one of the foremost halachic authorities of his generation. He served as rabbi in Mezeritch and then for some seventeen years in Konigsberg before becoming, in 1782, rabbi of the Schottland congregation in Danzig (Gdansk), where he remained until his death. He is best remembered for Beit Meir, his commentary on the Even HaEzer section of the Shulchan Aruch, first printed in Frankfurt-an-der-Oder in 1787.
