Bill Meakes (born 23 February 1991) is an Australian rugby union player who competed with Western Force in Super Rugby.

Meakes first started with Randwick rugby club for several years who compete in Sydney grade competitions as well as the Shute Shield competition.

Meakes competed with Australia U20s during the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship as his team lost in the semi-finals to New Zealand U20s. But finished third place as they defeated France U20s by 30-17. He was also capped at Sevens level for Australia as Meakes participated in the 2011–12 IRB Sevens World Series.

In 2013, Meakes moved to England as he played for Clifton RFC, a local rugby union club based in Bristol. In early 2014, Meakes linked up with Gloucester Rugby having played for Clifton since his arrival in the UK as a non-contracted player. He did enough to earn an academy contract for the 2014-15 season. On 15 January 2015, Meakes signed his first professional contract with Gloucester since his move to the English club became permanent.

On 2 July 2016, it was announced that Meakes would be released from his contract with Gloucester to make his debut in Super Rugby with Perth-based Western Force from the 2017 season.
