Tang poetry 唐詩 refers to poetry written in or around the time of or in the characteristic style of China's Tang dynasty, 618 - 907, and follows a certain style, often considered as the Golden Age of Chinese poetry. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry continued to be an important part of social life at all levels of society. Scholars were required to master poetry for the civil service exams, but the art was theoretically available to everyone. This led to a large record of poetry and poets, a partial record of which survives today. Two of the most famous poets of the period were Du Fu and Li Bai.

This classic collection of 300 Tang Poems features the English translation of Witter Bynner, reprinted with the generous permission from The Witter Bynner Foundation for Poetry.

唐詩泛指創作於唐代（618年—907年）的詩，也可以引申指以唐朝風格創作的詩。唐代被視為中國歷來詩歌水平最高的黃金時期，因此有唐詩之說，與宋詞並舉。唐代以後，唐詩的選本不斷湧現，現今流傳最廣的是蘅塘退士編選的《唐詩三百首》。清朝康熙年間的《全唐詩》整理收錄了二千二百多名詩人超過五萬首唐詩。
