The English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century is a collection of essays by William Makepeace Thackeray, originally published in 1853.

He also provides biographical information about each author, giving insight into their personal lives and the social and political contexts in which they wrote. Throughout the book, Thackeray offers his own opinions and criticisms of the writers and their works, providing a fascinating glimpse into the literary scene of the 18th century.
