Thomas Chatterton, né le 20 novembre 1752 à Bristol et mort le 24 août 1770 à Holborn, est un poète et mystificateur anglais. Ayant attribué ses œuvres à un moine médiéval du nom de « Rowley », il fut accusé à tort d’être un faussaire par certains de ses contemporains les plus influents. Il est reconnu comme un poète de talent, malgré sa mort à l'âge de 17 ans, ayant préféré se suicider à l’arsenic plutôt que de mourir de faim, devenant ainsi pour les romantiques le symbole de l’homme de génie non reconnu.
