Edmund O'Meara (Irish: Éamonn Ó Meadhra, also known as Edmund Meara;[1] 1614–1681) was an Irish physiologist and one of the last prominent champions of the medical ideas of Galen.[2][3] Son of Dermod O'Meara who was a physician, poet and author. O'Meara is remembered today for his criticism of vivisection, stating that the agony suffered by lab animals distorted the research results, using this as a basis to reject William Harvey's ideas about the circulatory system and defend the earlier theories of Galen.[4]
O'Meara wrote an epitaph for Malachy Ó Caollaidhe, but was unable to locate his grave.
