The Misty Poets are a group of 20th-century Chinese poets who reacted against the restrictions on art during the Cultural Revolution. They are so named because their work has been officially denounced as "obscure","misty",or "hazy" poetry.

The movement was initially centered on the magazine Jintian,which was founded by Bei Dao and Mang Ke and published from 1978 until 1980,when it was banned.
