Edmund ter Meer (31 July 1852 – 5 November 1931) was a German chemist who discovered the ter Meer reaction and founded in 1877 the ter Meer dye company in Uerdingen. After merging Julius Weiler's aniline factory, the Weiler-ter Meer company was formed. The company later became part of Bayer. His son Fritz ter Meer also became a chemist associated with Bayer.
