The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp (ISBN 0-7661-4674-X) is an autobiography (published in 1908) by the Welsh poet and writer William Henry Davies (1871 - 1940).
The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp has a foreword by George Bernard Shaw. Part of the subject matter covered includes the way of life in England and the United States of America at the time of migration and railway building.
The name for the band Supertramp was inspired by this book.
In the novel Into The Wild, Christopher McCandless renamed himself "Alexander Supertramp" when he began his journey.
