Vergel Meneses (born January 14, 1969, Malolos, Bulacan) is a Filipino retired professional basketball player who last played for the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals in the Philippine Basketball Association. He is also a former PBA Most Valuable Player and a many-time member of the Philippine National team.

Meneses started out his collegiate basketball career as King Bomber of the Jose Rizal College (now Jose Rizal University) team. Although, he was not able to lead his team to a championship in his four-year tenure at the National Collegiate Athletic Association, he was one of the premier players of the said league where he was known to be a high-flyer. He solidified his status as an exciting player when he won the Philippine Basketball League (PBL) Slam Dunk contest as a collegiate player besting such established amateur players then like Alvin Patrimonio among others. At JRC, he played alongside his older brother, Vic Meneses, the second brother tandem at the JRC team after the more celebrated Cezar brothers, former PBA MVP Philip and David.

He first played for RFM-Swift Hotdogs in the Philippine Basketball League, and then had a brief stint with Burger City before returning to his former ballclub. Meneses was tagged as Samboy Lim's successor in the high-wire act department and Vergel more than lived up to that tag. Like Samboy, Vergel was a superb one-on-one player. In 1989, he saw action for the RP Youth Team in the ABC Youth championships in Manila as well as the national team in the 15th Southeast Asian Games where the Philippines finished runner-up to Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. In 1991, he was part of the victorious Philippine Team that played at the 16th SEA Games held in Manila.
