Xu Zhimo （Chinese: 徐志摩） (January 15, 1897 – November 19, 1931)was an early 20th century Chinese romantic poet. He became a leader of the modern poetry movement in China in the 1920s after a time spent studying at Cambridge University when he discovered and became hugely influenced by English romantic poets such as Keats and Shelley, as well as by numerous French romantics and symbolists of the era. He pioneered the use of vernacular in his work and was the first to adapt Western romantic forms to Chinese poetry.

In July 2008 Cambridge University commemorated Xu Zhimo by erecting a white Beijing marble stone in the grounds of King's College, inscribed with the first and last pairs of lines of one his most well-known poems called, "On Leaving Cambridge".
