Petr Kabeš (21 June 1941 in Pardubice – 9 July 2005 in Prague) was a Czech poet.

Kabeš was born in Pardubice and studied at the Prague University of Economics and Business.

His next collection Odklad krajiny was made in 1970 but the entire print was destroyed before release and Kabeš was subsequently banned until 1989.

In 1995, he was awarded the Jaroslav Seifert Prize, presented by the Charter 77 Foundation [cs], for his book Pěší věc.
