Victor Gustave Plarr (21 June 1863 – 28 January 1929) was an English poet; he is probably best known for the poem Epitaphium Citharistriae.

[1] He was brought up in Scotland and England after his family moved at the time of the Franco-Prussian War.

He was educated at Madras College, St Andrews and Tonbridge School.

The following year, the first two volumes of Lives of the Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons were published under the editorship of D'Arcy Power.

A generally uncongenial figure, he was befriended in 1909 by Ezra Pound, who enjoyed Plarr's tales of the "decadent nineties".
