The Poet Game is an album by American folk singer/guitarist Greg Brown, released in 1994.

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Richard Meyer wrote of the album "Greg Brown's latest release is somber and streetwise with more political undertones than his previous CDs... Production is simple and in a few cases one would have liked to hear a bit more thought given to the instrumental arrangement, but still this is a fine stripped-to-the-bone songwriter album by one of the premiere contemporary writers.

"[1] Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "Neither" rating.
