British poetry ( like British literature) is a term rarely used, as almost all poets of the British world (whether of the British Isles, the British Empire, or the United Kingdom) are clearly identified with one of the various nations within those areas.

So far as the term means anything, it refers to poetry written by poets from the British Isles, of which the United Kingdom (Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland) is the largest part, but including the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

The term does not include the poetry of the Republic of Ireland, but may include poetry written in any of the languages in the United Kingdom or in other languages of the British Isles.

It may include:

• English poetry
• Scottish poetry (see Scottish literature)
• Welsh poetry
• Jèrriais poetry
• Guernésiais poetry
• Manx poetry
• Cornish poetry
