Sir Francis Meredith Wilfrid Meynell, KB (1891 - 1975) was a British poet and printer at The Nonesuch Press.

He was son of the writer Alice Meynell, a suffragist and Roman Catholic. George Lansbury brought him in to be business manager of the Daily Herald in 1913. He was imprisoned as a conscientious objector in World War I.

He was knighted in 1946. He married Alix Kilroy (1903 - 1999), a civil servant with the Board of Trade.

They worked together during World War II on Utility Design,
an austere and functional style. After the war they lived and farmed in a secluded part of Suffolk for many years. Their union was childless.
