Urban Meyer III (born July 10, 1964) is the head football coach of the Florida Gators football team that represents the University of Florida located in Gainesville, Florida; he previously coached the Bowling Green Falcons football team from 2001 to 2002, and the Utah Utes football team from 2003 to 2004. Meyer is best known for coaching the Florida Gators to two BCS National Championship Game victories during the 2006 and 2008 seasons.

In 2004, Meyer was recognized as the college football "coach of the year" by both sports writers (Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year) and television commentators (Home Depot Coach of the Year Award). He has twenty years of college coaching experience, including eight as a head coach. His overall record as a head coach through the end of the 2008 season is 83–17 and he is 41–13 in conference play. His winning percentage (.830) ranks second nationally among active college coaches.

Meyer is a devout Roman Catholic and, on several occasions, has expressed an interest in coaching at the University of Notre Dame once all of his children have graduated from high school, but according to a July 2009 newspaper report, Meyer insisted he would never leave Florida for Notre Dame.
