"Pequeños poemas en prosa" publicado en 1869, es una colección de textos en prosa poética escritos por Charles Baudelaire. Sus temas van de la melancolía, al horror, al paso del tiempo, así como también desvela una crítica corrosiva contra la religión y la moral, y lanza una burla contra los ideales que mueven a las personas y una aversión enorme contra la sociedad y la hipocresía que la domina. Así esta obra complementa a su afamada "Las flores del mal", creando en ella una nueva poética libre de los corsés métricos de los versos tradicionales.
