The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse is a poetry anthology edited by Philip Larkin.

It was published in 1973 by Oxford University Press with ISBN 0-19-812137-7.

Larkin writes in the short preface that the selection is wide rather than deep; and also notes that for the post-1914 period it is more a collection of poems, than of poets.

The remit was limited by him to poets with a period of residence in the British Isles.

[1] On the other hand, he was criticized, notably by Donald Davie, for his inclusion of "pop" poets such as Brian Patten.
