Alfred Edgar Coppard ( January 4 1878 – January 13, 1957) was an English writer, noted for his influence on the short story form, and poet. He was born in Folkestone, and had little formal education.

In the early 1920s, and still unpublished, he was in Oxford and a leading light of a literary group, the New Elizabethans, who met in a pub to read Elizabethan drama. The meetings were sometimes attended by W. B. Yeats. At this period he met Richard Hughes and Edgell Rickword, amongst others.
