It is known that if $f$ is holomorphic in the open unit disc $𝔻$ of the complex plane and if, for some $c>0$, $\left|f\left(z\right)\right|\le {1/(1-|z|}^2{)}^c$, $z\in 𝔻$, then $|f^{\text{'}}{\left(z\right)|\le 2(c+1)/(1-\left|z\right|}^2{)}^{c+1}$. We consider a meromorphic analogue of this result. Furthermore, we introduce and study the class of meromorphic Bloch-type functions that possess a nonzero simple pole in $𝔻$. In particular, we obtain bounds for the modulus of the Taylor coefficients of functions in this class.
