Theodore Watts-Dunton (12 October 1832 – 6 June 1914) was an English critic and poet. He is often remembered as the friend and minder of Algernon Charles Swinburne, whom he rescued from alcoholism.
He contributed regularly to the Examiner from 1874 and to the Athenaeum from 1875 until 1898, being for more than twenty years the principal critic of poetry in the latter journal. He wrote widely for other publications and contributed several articles to the Encyclopædia Britannica, of which the most significant was that on Poetry in the ninth edition. In that article he explored the first principles of poetry.
