# Premio Griffin de Poesía

El premio Griffin de Poesía (en inglés: Griffin Poetry Prize) es un premio canadiense creado en 2000 por el filántropo Scott Griffin con el objetivo de premiar a poetas canadienses y de otras nacionalidades por la calidad de sus obras. El premio, que es ofertado por la institución Griffin Trust (fundada por Griffin con este objetivo), está considerado como uno de los más generosos por su dotación económica, 200.000 dólares canadienses, distribuidos entre finalistas y vencedores.
En 2014, la poeta brasileña Adélia Prado, recibió el premio en la categoría "Lifetime Recognition Award".
