Cien Sonetos de Amor (100 Love Sonnets) is a collection of sonnets written by the Chilean poet and Nobel Laureate, Pablo Neruda between 1955-1957 that were originally published by Editorial Losada, S.A., Buenos Aires in 1960. Neruda dedicated the sonnets to his beloved wife Matilde Urrutia who died in January 1985. The collection of sonnets are divided into the four stages of the day: morning, afternoon, evening and night.

These sonnets that are of comparable importance to those of Dante and Shakespeare have been translated into English numerous times by various scholars. The most widely acclaimed English translation was made by Stephen Tapscott and published in 1986. In 2004 Gustavo Escobedo also translated the 100 sonnets for the 100th Anniversary of Neruda’s birth.
