Arthur Meinig (Hungarian: Meinig Arthur) was a Kingdom of Saxony-born architect from Austria-Hungary. He was born in Waldheim, Saxony on 7 November 1853 and died in Budapest on 14 September 1904. After studying in Dresden, he worked for architects Fellner and Helmer in Vienna. In 1883 he moved to Budapest and soon became a favorite architect of the Hungarian nobility. Though especially known for his work in the Neobaroque style, he also used the Neo-Gothic, Neo-Renaissance and Châteauesque styles.
