Ricardo Eufemio Molinari (March 23, 1898 – July 31, 1996) was an Argentine poet. Molinari was born in Buenos Aires and was orphaned when he was five. Molinari's first work was El Imaginero (1927). He contributed to the avant-garde review Martín Fierro along with other Argentine writers as Jorge Luis Borges, whom he befriended. In 1933 he traveled to Spain where he met with the members of the Generation of '27. After he married, he worked in the National Congress of Argentina until his retirement. In 1958 he was awarded the Argentine National Prize for Poetry for his work Unida Noche and in 1968 became a member of the country's Academia Argentina de Letras. One of his most famous books is also one of his last: La escudilla (1973). The poetry collection Las sombras del pájaro tostado (1975) collects almost all of his works.
