Myer is an Australian chain of department stores founded in 1900 by Sidney Myer, in the regional Victorian town of Bendigo. It is now Australia's largest department store brand retailing a broad range of merchandise including women's and menswear, homewares, electrical goods, books and music. It became part of the Coles Myer group of retailers in the 1980s.

There are 67 Myer stores located in all Australian states and territories (except the Northern Territory), with the main store located in the shopping strip of Bourke Street, Melbourne; this store is the largest department store in Australia. Other major locations include Pitt Street Mall, Sydney; Queen Street, Brisbane; Murray Street, Perth; and Rundle Mall, Adelaide. There are numerous suburban locations throughout these cities as well as many regional stores scattered throughout Australia.
In February, 2004, the Grace Bros. brand in New South Wales was replaced by Myer, although since the late 1980s, the two brands were owned by the same company and operated in exactly the same manner.
