Meyrin is a commune of the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. It is the city located nearest the CERN particle physics laboratory.

Meyrin was originally a small agricultural village until the 1950s, when construction of CERN began just to the north. It is now a bedroom community dominated with apartment high-rises, and many of its residents work at CERN or in central Geneva.
