Otto Karl Alexander Mejer (1818 to 1893) was a German canon law specialist and church historian, born at Zellerfeld and active until his death at Hanover. He studied law at Göttingen, Berlin and Jena, took his doctorate at Göttingen in 1841, and was deeply influenced in Berlin by the teaching of Friedrich Carl von Savigny. After a study trip to Rome in 1845 and 1846 he became full professor of law at Königsberg in 1847, then at Greifswald and Rostock, and from 1874 until his retirement in 1883 at Göttingen. From 1885 to 1893 he was president of the State Consistory of the Evangelical-Lutheran Church of Hanover. His books include Institutionen des gemeinen deutschen Kirchenrechtes (1845), a Lehrbuch des deutschen Kirchenrechts and a study of the Roman-German question.
