We present recent results on light mesons based on Dalitz plot analyses of charm decays from Fermilab experiment E791. Scalar mesons are found to have large contributions to the decays studied, D{sup +} {yields} {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +} and D{sup +}, D{sub s}{sup +} {yields} {pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +}. From the K{pi}{pi} final state, we find good evidence for the existence of the light and broad k meson and we measure its mass and width. We also discuss recently published results on the 3{pi} final states, especially the measurement of the f{sub 0} parameters and the evidence for the {sigma} meson from D{sup +} {yields} {sigma}{pi}{sup +}. These results demonstrate the importance of charm decays as a new environment for the study of light meson physics.
