Alfred Edgar Coppard (January 4, 1878–January 13, 1957) was an English writer, noted for his influence on the short story form, and poet.
He was born, the son of a tailor and a housemaid, in Folkestone, and had little formal education. He left school at the age of nine to work as an errand boy for a Jewish trouser maker in Whitechapel during the period of the Jack the Ripper murders. In the early 1920s, and still unpublished, he was in Oxford and a leading light of a literary group, the New Elizabethans , who met in a pub to read Elizabethan drama. W. B. Yeats sometimes attended the meetings. At this period he met Richard Hughes and Edgell Rickword, amongst others.
