Meador is an unincorporated community in Mingo County, West Virginia, United States. Meador is 5.5 miles (8.9 km) east of Matewan. Two theories account for the origination of the community's name:
(1) It is named after a settler with the surname "Meador". Ambrose Meador, who immigrated from England to Warrisquicke County, Virginia before 1636. His descendants expanded into western Virginia and southern West Virginia, as well as Texas and beyond.
(2) It is a corruption of the word "meadow".
