Sheldon Mayer (; April 1, 1917 – December 21, 1991) was an American comics artist, writer, and editor.
One of the earliest employees of Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson's National Allied Publications, Mayer produced almost all of his comics work for the company that would become known as DC Comics. He is among those credited with rescuing the unsold Superman comic strip from the rejection pile. Mayer was inducted into the comic book industry's Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2000.
Mayer is not to be confused with fellow Golden Age comics professional Sheldon Moldoff.
