- Ann Elizabeth Meyers (born March 26, 1955 in San Diego, California) is a retired American basketball player and sportscaster. She is a distinguished figure in the history of women's basketball and sports journalism. A standout player in high school, college, the Olympic Games, international tournaments, and the professional levels, she is one of the most talented women to ever have played the game. Meyers was the first player to be part of the U.S. national team while still in high school. She was the first woman to be signed to a four-year athletic scholarship for college, at UCLA. She was also the only woman to sign a contract with a National Basketball Association team, the Indiana Pacers (1979). Meyers currently resides in Huntington Beach, California and serves as the general manager for the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and vice president of the NBA's Phoenix Suns. For over 26 years, she served as a network television sports analyst for ESPN, CBS, and NBC. In 2006, Meyers was awarded the Ronald Reagan Media Award from the United States Sports Academy.
- Ann Elizabeth Meyers on yhdysvaltalainen koripalloilija. Hän oli ensimmäinen pelaaja, joka olleessaan vielä high schoolissa pelasi Yhdysvaltain koripallomaajoukkueessa. High schoolin jälkeen Meyers pääsi urheilustipendillä Kalifornian yliopistoon Los Angelesiin, jossa hänen pelinumeronsa 15 on jäädytetty. Hän oli mukana voittamassa muun muassa kultaa Pan-Amerikan kisoissa 1975 ja hopeaa Montréalin kesäolympialaisissa 1976. Meyers pääsi 10. toukokuuta 1993 ensimmäisenä naispelaajana Basketball Hall of Fameen, mutta pian kohtasi epäonni, kun hänen puolisonsa, baseballpelaaja ja -selostaja Don Drysdale menehtyi sydänkohtaukseen Montréalissa 3. heinäkuuta. Meyers kelpuutettiin vuonna 2007 myös FIBA Hall of Fameen.
- Tra i suoi record, è la prima donna ad essere stata convocata dalla nazionale statunitense quando ancora frequentava l'high school; la prima a ricevere una borsa di studio sportiva dall'UCLA; la prima ad essere convocata per l'All-America team quattro stagioni consecutive; la prima ad essere inserita nell'Hall of Fame dell'università californiana; la prima ad aver fatto un provino per la squadra maschile della National Basketball Association degli Indiana Pacers. È stata anche la prima ad essere stata scelta al draft della Women's Basketball League, dalle New Jersey Gems, nel 1978. Sin dal 1979, la Meyers si è dedicata al giornalismo sportivo, facendo l'opinionista per eventi di pallacanestro, softball, tennis, pallavolo e calcio. Dal 12 settembre 2006 è diventata general manager delle Phoenix Mercury e vicepresidente dei Phoenix Suns.
