Nicanor Segundo Parra Sandoval (5 September 1914 – 23 January 2018) was a Chilean poet and physicist. He was considered one of the most influential Chilean poets of the Spanish language in the 20th century, often compared with Pablo Neruda. Parra described himself as an "anti-poet", due to his distaste for standard poetic pomp and function; after recitations he would exclaim: "Me retracto de todo lo dicho" ('I take back everything I said').
