List of Swiss poets

This is a list of Swiss poets, consisting of both authors native to Switzerland, and authors born elsewhere who have had an impact on Swiss literature through their work. Swiss literature may be split into four parts based on the language of the author, although some authors may write in multiple languages. (Years link to corresponding "[year] in poetry" articles.)
