Jochen Meißner (born 8 May 1943) was a leading single scull rower of West Germany between 1965 and 1972, who competed in the Olympic Games.
In the singled sculls event, he won national titles in 1965–1968 and a European title in 1965; a silver medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics, as well as bronze medals at the world (1966) and European (1969) championships. At the 1967 European Rowing Championships in Vichy, he came fourth in the single sculls.[1] He also competed in the double sculls at the 1972 Summer Olympics, together with Arthur Heyne, and finished in tenth place.
In 1970, Meißner won the Diamond Challenge Sculls (the premier singles sculls event) at the Henley Royal Regatta, rowing for Mannheimer RV Amicitia.[2]
