Meginhard IV of Hamaland (before 879/888-955) was a son of Everhard Saxo of Hamaland and Zutphen.
Count Meginhard IV of Hamaland most likely participated in 938-939 as a vassal of Henry I of Bavaria in the uprising of the dukes Everhard III of Franks, Giselbert II of Maasgouw and Henry I of Bavaria against King Otto I (936-973), the brother of Henry I of Bavaria. After Henry's defeat, Meginhard IV was shown mercy as a feudal lord. He did not get his possessions back, because he was without office at the time of his death. It has been established with certainty that the Elten castle came to his son Wichman and the Zutphen castle to his son Everhard.
However, the count's title was permanently stripped from him. In most documents he is only referred to as nobleman and vassal and only in a papal bull of Pope Gregory V as "count". When he died between 952 and 956 he was without office. He was buried on the Elterberg.
He was succeeded by his son Wichman IV.
