Gerhard Meisenberg is a German biochemist who is known mainly as author of the textbook Principles of Medical Biochemistry. He is also the editor-in-chief of Mankind Quarterly, a minor journal in the field of anthropology.

Meisenberg is on the advisory board for the journal Intelligence. According to Wired, he authored a commentary published by Nature stating that in the twenty-first century it will be possible to correct genetic intelligence differences with genetic engineering.

Angela Saini, in an opinion for The Guardian, has said that Meisenberg's views on race and intelligence are "unsupported by evidence, generally receive little to no attention from within the everyday scientific community". According to Wired, Meisenberg is agnostic about race and intelligence but supports research in the field, claiming that "by not investigating the race-intelligence link, we … perpetuate ignorance and the prejudice that thrives on ignorance."

He is a professor of physiology and biochemistry at Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica.
