Rimas de Bécquer es el conjunto de poemas de este escritor sevillano del 'tardorromanticismo español' que, reunido con ese título, fue publicado después de su muerte. Obra universalmente reconocida como 'la más honda y fina poesía del siglo XIX, en tono menor', fue ridiculizada por Núñez de Arce, elogiada por Antonio Machado, admirada por Alberti y Lorca,? y homenajeada por Rubén Darío y Juan Ramón Jiménez. Entre los estudios clásicos que sobre las Rimas se han realizado, -apenas 76 poemas breves en su primera edición, aunque existen ediciones que reúnen hasta 96 piezas poéticas en algunas ediciones posteriores- pueden destacarse los de Rafael Montesinos, José Luis Cano o Luis Cernuda. En su aspecto formal (métrica y rima) es refrescante e innovadora la abundancia de rima asonante y versos libres.
