Meiju Enho (born 1981) is a Finnish musician. She is best known as the former keyboard player of the Finnish folk metal band Ensiferum.[1] Enho joined the band in 2001 following the release of their debut album Ensiferum and played on all subsequent releases until her departure in 2007.

Enho has also performed as a touring musician for Finntroll, another Finnish folk metal band, when their regular keyboard player Trollhorn was unavailable.

It was announced that Enho had left the Ensiferum on 10 September 2007, in a statement on the band's website. The official announcement read:

I’ve now reached the moment in my life when I need to stay out of the battle. It’s time for somebody else to take my place in Ensiferum. These almost 6 years have been totally unforgettable but also rough. After giving my absolutely 100% to this music, playing and shows I now feel exhausted but happy; it has been worth it. Nevertheless, I feel now it’s time for me to head out for new adventures.

— Meiju's official statement on the band's website

Since 2012, Enho has been the composer, keyboardist, kantele player and lead singer for the Finnish alt/folk metal band Mamyth. In October 2020, she joined with Norwegian singer Liv Kristine to Finnish symphonic death metal band Coldbound.[2]
