Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada is a renowned collection by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, written when he was under twenty. Published in 1924, it marks a shift from modernist influences to a more personal poetic style. The book contains twenty untitled love poems and a final poem, "La canción desesperada." Though inspired by genuine youthful loves, Neruda combines traits from several women to craft an idealised poetic beloved.

Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada es una de las más célebres obras del poeta chileno Pablo Neruda (1904-1973). Publicado en 1924, el poemario lanzó a su autor a la fama con apenas 19 años de edad, y es una de las obras literarias de mayor renombre del siglo XX en la lengua castellana.

El libro pertenece a la época de juventud del poeta, ya que fue escrito y publicado cuando no contaba aún con veinte años. Su origen se suele explicar como una evolución consciente de su poética que trata de salirse de los moldes del modernismo que dominaban sus primeras composiciones y su primer libro, Crepusculario.

La obra está compuesta por veinte poemas de temática amorosa, más un poema final titulado La canción desesperada. A excepción de este último, los poemas no tienen título. Aunque el poemario esté basado en experiencias amorosas reales del joven Neruda, es un libro de amor que no se dirige a una sola amante.

El poeta ha mezclado en sus versos las características físicas de varias mujeres reales de su primera juventud para crear una imagen de la amada irreal que no corresponde a ninguna de ellas en concreto, sino que representa una idea puramente poética de su objeto amoroso.
