Stephen Edgar (born 1951) is an Australian poet, editor and indexer.
After time spent living in London, he later returned to Australia, going on to study classics and librarianship at the University of Tasmania.
From 1986 to the present he has been subeditor of Island and was poetry editor between 1989 and 1994.
[6] As poet Kevin Hart observed, Edgar "is distinctive for a firm commitment to closed forms and for showing considerable panache in handling them".
[7] Other critical material on Stephen Edgar includes a close reading by Clive James of Edgar's "Man on the Moon" in the Poetry Foundation's online magazine.
