De Meern is a residential district located in the western part of the city of Utrecht, in the Netherlands. Originally an independent village, it was incorporated into Utrecht in 2001. The area is particularly known for its significant archaeological findings, including well-preserved Roman artifacts discovered during construction projects.

The most notable discovery was a Roman ship dating back to the 2nd century CE, found in 1997, which provides valuable insights into the Roman presence along the Rhine frontier.
