Meier Helmbrecht is a 1928 play by the German writer Eugen Ortner. A historical tragedy set around 1250, it was first staged at the Munich Kammerspiele. It was subsequently staged less successfully at the Staatliches Schauspielhaus in Berlin with a cast including Veit Harlan and Friedrich Kayßler.

This 1928 play draws from the ca. 1250-1280 satirical poem of the same name by the Bavarian-Austrian author Wernher der Gartenaere [de].
