Craig Anthony Raine, FRSL (born 3 December 1944) is an English contemporary poet.
Along with Christopher Reid, he is the best-known exponent of Martian poetry, a movement that expresses alienation with the world, society and objects, sometimes to a metaphysical degree, but tending towards being simplistic.
He was a fellow of New College, Oxford from 1991 to 2010 and is now emeritus professor.
He has been the editor of Areté since 1999.
