Cecil Henry Meares (14 February 1877 – 12 May 1937) was a British military officer, interpreter, adventurer, and explorer.

He worked in the Siberian fur trade, was in Peking during the Boxer Uprising, served in the army during the Second Boer War, explored Tibet with the J. W. Brooke expedition, and was the officer in charge of sled dogs on the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition of 1910–1913 – the British attempt to be the first to reach the geographic South Pole.

After 1914 he served in the Corps of Interpreters and as a Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve officer in the Royal Naval Air Service during the First World War.
