Robert Henryson (c.1420-c.1509) was a middle-Scots poet best known for The Testament of Cresseid and the Fables of Aesop. He belongs to the group of Northern/Scottish Chaucerians striving to remain faithful to the master's style, amongst whom Henryson stands out as especially original.

The greatest of the late medieval Scottish makars, Robert Henryson wrote in Lowland Scots, a distinctive northern version of English. He was profoundly influenced by Chaucer's vision of the frailty and pathos of human life. His greatest poem is the narrative Testament of Cresseid, set in the aftermath of the Trojan War.
