Wilfred Rowland Childe (1890 - 1952) was a British poet and critic. He was educated at Harrow School and Magdalen College, Oxford. He edited Oxford Poetry in 1916 and 1917. He became a Roman Catholic convert in 1916.
His Selected Poems was published in 1936. He associated with the Sitwells, but was no modernist; he has been described as almost too Georgian to be true.
