Katherine Philips (baptized January 11, 1632, London, England—died June 22, 1664, London) was an English poet who, as Orinda, the central figure in a literary group in Cardigan, Wales, wrote lyrics on friendship that represent a transition from courtly poetry to the Augustan style typical of Restoration literature.
