Robin Ernest William Flower (1881–1946) was an English poet, scholar, and translator who specialized in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon studies. Over the course of his career, he became particularly well-known for his translations of texts from the Irish language, helping to bring Irish literary heritage to a wider audience.
In Ireland, Flower was affectionately referred to by the Irish name 'Bláithín', which translates to 'Little Flower'. His dual legacy as both a creative poet and a dedicated academic researcher highlights his significant role in early-to-mid 20th-century literary scholarship.
