Richard Donald "Dick" Meissner (born January 6, 1940) is a Canadian retired professional ice hockey forward who played 171 games in the National Hockey League for the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers. Dick is the brother of Barrie Meissner.

Meissner played junior hockey with the Humboldt Indians, Estevan Bruins and Flin Flon Bombers from 1956 to 1959. In 1959, Meissner turned professional with the Boston Bruins, and alternately played with the Bruins and minor league teams until 1963, when he was traded to the New York Rangers. Meissner played in the 1963–64 and 1964–65 seasons with the Rangers and its farm teams. Meissner continued solely in the minor leagues after that until 1972. Meissner returned in 1974 with the Portland Buckeroos, but only played part of the season, and retired afterward.
