Meredith Elizabeth Palmer (born May 12, 1959) is a fictional character on the U.S. comedy television series, The Office. She is portrayed by Kate Flannery, and is an original character, meaning that she has no equivalent in the British version of the show.

Meredith Palmer is the socially inappropriate and sexually promiscuous representative at the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch. In season 2, episode 15; season 8, episode 1; and season 9, episode 23, she is said to have the job of Supplier Relations; (however, in the first season, her job was said to be an Accountant). Her computer always displays the solitaire game found in the MS package. Little is known about her early and personal life, but, over the course of the series, some tidbits of information have been revealed. She has been married twice, with one of her ex-husbands leaving her for a woman who works as a garbage collector (who is addressed as "Mom" by Meredith's children). She has two children, a son named Jake, whom she has custody of, and a daughter named Wendy (described as "The good one") who is in the custody of one of Meredith's ex-husbands. In a deleted scene from "Garden Party", Meredith reveals that she is a former boxer.

Meredith is alleged to be an alcoholic, and it has been alluded to that she often arrives at work with a hangover, as she has complained that people talk too loudly and that the office lights are too bright in the morning. Although she has insisted that she does not have a drinking problem, there are many things she overlooks that are serious signs of addiction, such as keeping a flask under the seat of her mini van, knowing the names of numerous bars around Scranton, and even ingesting hand sanitizer for the alcohol in it. To the disgust of her co-workers, she reveals that she also suffers from pornography addiction.' In "Local Ad", it is heavily implied that she has been cast in pornographic movies, on considerably more than one occasion.
