mini|Titelblatt der Erstausgabe Lyrical Ballads, with a Few Other Poems (Lyrische Gedichte) ist eine erstmals 1798 veröffentlichte Gedichtsammlung von William Wordsworth und Samuel Taylor Coleridge, die gemeinhin als Anfang der englischen Romantik in der Literatur angesehen wird. Die Aufmerksamkeit der Kritik war zunächst gering, jedoch beeinflusste das Werk die englische Literatur und Dichtkunst maßgeblich. Das Vorwort der Ausgabe von 1800 gilt als Manifest der englischen Romantik.
Die meisten der Gedichte der Erstausgabe von 1798 stammen von William Wordsworth. Coleridge trug nur vier Gedichte bei, die allerdings rund ein Drittel des Umfangs ausmachen. Die im Jahr 1800 veröffentlichte Zweitauflage enthielt weitere Gedichte von Wordsworth sowie das bereits genannte Vorwort. In den Folgeauflagen von 1802 und 1805 wurden die Gedanken dieses Vorworts in einem als Poetic Diction überschriebenen Anhang ausgebaut.
