British poetry is a term rarely used, as almost all poets of the British world (whether of the British Isles, the British Empire, or the United Kingdom) are clearly identified with one of the various nations within those areas.
It may include:
- English poetry
- Scottish poetry (see Scottish literature)
- Irish poetry
- Welsh poetry
- Jèrriais poetry
- Guernésiais poetry
- Manx poetry
