Eric Exequiel Meza (born 8 April 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Estudiantes.

Career
Born in Santa Fe, Meza joined Colón's youth categories in 2009, from city rivals Unión de Santa Fe. After eleven years in their academy, manager Eduardo Domínguez moved him into the first-team squad in 2020.

After being an unused substitute in several 2020 Copa de la Liga Profesional group stage matches, Meza made his first team debut on 28 November 2020, replacing Gonzalo Piovi in a 2–1 defeat to Independiente at the Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López. The following 12 January, he signed his first professional contract with the club, after agreeing to a three-year deal.

Meza became a regular starter for Colón during the 2021 season, and scored his first senior goal on 13 August of that year, in a 1–0 home win over Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. He scored another three goals during that year, as his side qualified to the Copa Libertadores.

Meza was still a first-choice ahead of Jonathan Sandoval and Augusto Schott during the 2022 campaign, but suffered an injury in September of that year which sidelined him for the remainder of the tournament.
