罗伯特·格雷夫斯（Robert Graves，1895.7.24u20131985.10.7），20世纪英国著名诗人,作家格雷夫斯生于伦敦，曾在第一次世界大战中服役，之后从牛津大学毕业。他在开罗大学教了一年英语，后来曾一度在西班牙的马略卡岛定居。格雷夫斯从1961到1966年间任牛津大学的诗歌学教授。

罗伯特·格雷夫斯是20世纪英国文学史上一位极具创新精神的诗人。他擅长写洗练的抒情诗，特别是爱情诗，继承了传统的风格，不趋时髦。他的战争诗独具特色,充分展示了诗人特有的才情和睿智. 也写小说、杂文、文学批评和神化研究作品，并翻译文学经典。他最初的作品是一些谴责第一次世界大战对生命的摧残的诗歌。他的自传《向一切告别》（1929年）讲述了他在一战中的经历。谴责战争的残酷，对英国病态的社会和文化表示不满。

《耶稣王》（1946年）是一部非传统历史小说。他后来的大部分诗作都是爱情抒情诗。他的古罗马帝国三部曲《我，克劳迪斯》（I， Claudius）、《克劳迪斯神和他的妻子梅萨利纳》（Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina）、《贝利萨里乌斯伯爵》（Count Belisarius）是现代历史小说经典之作，现实主义的表现手法使生活在古代的人物具有亲近感，同时又保持了历史性。他在《白色女神》(1947)一书中认为文艺起源于对原始女神的崇拜。他对希腊和希伯来神话也深有研究。1961至1965年任牛津大学诗学教授。1980年发表小说《他们吊死了我的圣洁的比利》。

《火盆旁》（1916年）、《诗集1938u20131945年》（1946年）、《诗集》（1959年）、《新诗集》（1977年）。神话研究作品――《白仙女》（1947年）、《希腊神话》（1955年）。随笔――《肩负读者》（The Reader over Your Shoulder）（1943年，与艾伦·霍奇合著）。
