The Higashi-Meihan Expressway (東名阪自動車道 Higashimeihan Jidōshadō?) is a four lane national expressway in the Tōkai region of Japan. It is owned and operated by Central Nippon Expressway Company.
Meihan is a kanji acronym of two characters. The first character represents Nagoya (名古屋) and the second character represents Osaka (大阪). Higashi (東) means east; together with the Meihan Highway and Nishi-Meihan Expressway, it forms a corridor linking the greater Nagoya and Osaka areas.
