Gabriel Ferrater i Soler (; 20 May 1922 – 27 April 1972) was an author, translator and scholar of linguistics of the sixties who wrote in the Catalan language. His poetical work is among the most important of the authors of post-war Catalonia and he continues to exert a great deal of influence over literature. He published three collections of poems: ''Da nuces pueris'' (1960), ''Menja't una cama'' ("Eat a leg", 1962) and ''Teoria dels cossos'' ("Theory of bodies"), consequently compiled into a single volume called ''Les dones i els dies'' ("Women and days", 1968), which was a milestone in Catalan literature.
