Busto de MacDiarmid en South Gyle, Edimburgo.

Hugh MacDiarmid es el pseudónimo de Christopher Murray Grieve (11 de agosto de 1892, Langholm[1] - 9 de septiembre de 1978, Edimburgo[2] ), un importante poeta escocés del siglo XX.

Fue pieza fundamental en la creación de un modernismo en Escocia, adalid del llamado "Scottish Renaissance" ('renacimiento escocés', versión del modernismo anglosajón). De manera inusual en un modernista, MacDiarmid era de ideología comunista, y también raramente en un comunista, estuvo comprometido con el independentismo escocés. Escribió en inglés y en escocés literario (también conocido como lengua de las "Lallans" o tierras bajas).

Su poema A Drunk Man Looks at the Thistle (1926) es considerado como uno de los más importantes poemas extensos de la literatura escocesa del siglo XX. El gran logro de su poesía última es un intento a escala épica de captar la idea de un mundo sin Dios en el que todos los hechos tratados por la poesía son científicamente verificables.
