A Meierhof or Meyerhof (from Latin: maiores villae) was a farm or building which was occupied or had been occupied by the administrator (the Meier) of a noble or ecclesiastical estate.

While the building might be leased to another tenant later, the name often remained with the building. Especially in northern Germany today, many of these buildings are still known as Meierhof.

The similar Sedelhof was a tax-exempt farm building owned by a noble that was unfortified.^[1]
