Mythopoeic literature is literature that involves the making of myths. Notable mythopoeic authors are C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and George MacDonald.

The Mythopoeic Society exists to promote mythopoeic literature, partly by way of the Mythopoeic Awards.

Mythopoeic can also be a power word when used in the political argument. As in "Lenin's ‘non-political’ state was a mythopoeic argument".
