Bernard Delvaille (1 December 1931 – 18 April 2006) was a French poet, essayist, translator and anthologist.
A graduate from the Institut d’Études Politiques, he entered the publishing business in the early 1950s as a reader for Éditions Denoël, before collaborating with Éditions Seghers in 1956, where he did various editorial work.
From 1962 on, he worked with Pierre Seghers on the collection "Poètes d'aujourd'hui" until Robert Laffont bought the editions in 1969.
His literary knowledge led him to become a literary critic and give lectures for the Alliances Françaises and in several universities like Brussels, Lisbon, Rome or Toronto.
He won the Prix Valery Larbaud in 1985 for his entire body of work.
His first book was devoted to Valery Larbaud and awarded the prix Sainte-Beuve in 1963.
