威尔弗雷德·欧文（Wilfred Edward Salter Owen，1893年3月18日－1918年11月4日）是一名英国诗人和军人，被视为第一次世界大战最重要的诗人。由于受到诗人朋友萨松(Siegfried Sassoon)的深切影响，他在那些震憾人心及极具现实感的战争诗篇中，每每描写出战壕和毒气的可惧。欧文一些有名的著作大多是在他死后出版，包括Dulce Et Decorum Est， Anthem for Doomed Youth，Futility和Strange Meeting。1919年编辑出版的诗集序言引用了他不少的佳句，尤其是 'War, and the pity of War' 'the Poetry is in the pity'。据传他是在战争结束前的一个礼拜阵亡于Sambre-Oise Canal的，因为当欧文的死讯传到他的故乡时，当地的教堂钟声刚好宣布战争结束了。

Wilfred Edward Salter Owen MC (18 March 1893 – 4 November 1918) was an English poet and soldier, one of the leading poets of the First World War. His shocking, realistic war poetry on the horrors of trenches and gas warfare was heavily influenced by his friend and mentor Siegfried Sassoon, and stood in stark contrast both to the public pe****tion of war at the time and to the confidently patriotic verse written by earlier war poets such as Rupert Brooke. Among his best-known works – most of which were published posthumously – are "Dulce et Decorum est", "Insensibility", "Anthem for Doomed Youth", "Futility" and "Strange Meeting".
