Ljubo Wiesner (February 2, 1885 in Zagreb – July 3, 1951 in Rome[1]) was a Croatian poet. He was a follower of Antun Gustav Matoš's work.[2]

He founded the publications Grič, Kritika and Savremenik.[3] His introduction to Hrvatska mlada lirika in 1914 defined the poetic style of the followers of Matoš.[2] Wiesner was also active musically, and played gusle.[4] Wiesner translated foreign poetry into Croatian, including works by Walt Whitman.[5] He was an editor of Mate Ujević's Croatian Encyclopedia.[6]

During World War II he worked on the Berlin-based Suradnja.[7] From 1948, until his death he lived in Rome at the Pontifical Croatian College of St. Jerome, where he organized the Vatican's radio program in Croatian.[3]
