"Meditation at Lagunitas" is a poem by American poet and academic Robert Hass. It is his most famous poem, although poet Dan Chiasson has referred to it as "among his weakest."[1][2] The work deals in part with language, and its inadequacies.[3][4]

Writing for Poetry, Pimone Triplett referred to the poem as "[...] one of the poems that can save you".[5]
