Forward Poetry Prize
Il Forward Poetry Prize è un premio letterario del Regno Unito, istituito nel 1991.

Il premio contempla le seguenti categorie:
- migliore raccolta (£ 10.000)
- migliore raccolta di debutto (£ 5.000)
- miglior componimento singolo (£ 1.000)
- miglior interpretazione di componimento singolo (£ 1.000, dal 2023[1])
Gli autori vincenti vengono pubblicati in un'antologia annuale dal titolo The Forward Book of Poetry.
