Wilfrid Charles Thorley (31 July 1878 in Southport, Lancashire – 28 January 1963 in Wirral, Cheshire) was an English poet and translator.
Thorley was the son of a well-to-do retired draper and magistrate, and his young wife.
However, he said that he learnt most while teaching English to foreign students in Sweden, Belgium, France and Italy, during the ten years preceding World War I.
His best-known poem is "Chant for Reapers", due to its inclusion in the Oxford Book of English Verse.
