Bertram Dobell (9 January 1842 – 14 December 1914) was an English bookseller and literary scholar. Largely self-educated, he became a prominent figure in the London literary scene, known for publishing and promoting the works of overlooked and neglected writers. Dobell edited and reissued texts by poets such as James Thomson and Thomas Traherne, and contributed his own poetry and literary criticism to the period's cultural life.
