Meriem is a character in Edgar Rice Burroughs's series of Tarzan novels, and the heroine of the fourth, The Son of Tarzan. Born Jeanne Jacot, the daughter of French general Armand Jacot, she is taken captive by Arabs as a child who give her the name Meriem. She is later rescued from her captors by Korak, son of Tarzan, with whom she afterwards lives in the jungle. She is beautiful, strong, athletic, brave, daring and sensitive. She will kill for food but not for sport.

After about six years Tarzan and Jane encounter Korak (now about 18) and Meriem (now 16) and reunite with them and are returned to London and married. Arguably, the book is as much about Meriem as it is about Tarzan's son.
Tarzan ist wieder da! Die Begegnung mit Korak nach den langen Jahren der Trennung, in denen sie ihn beinahe schon für tot gehalten hatte, war Meriem so überraschend gekommen, daß sie kaum einen klaren Gedanken fassen konnte und sich willenlos von Baynes hinter den Zelten entlang nach dem Palisadenzaun führen ließ. Koraks Rat war sicher gut ...
