Jaime Sabines (March 25 1926 – March 19 1999) was a Mexican poet. He was born in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, the first son of Julio Sabines (part-Lebanese), and Luz Gutiérrez, a native of Chiapas.

A poet with an everlasting work, he used to sing to love and broken hearts as he celebrated loneliness and missed company as well. Sabines lived every day as it was "the first and the last of the world". He was a living legend and a real popular poet, and as Elena Poniatowska once remarked, "he took poetry to the streets."

It was during high school that Jaime published hist first poems in the school's newspaper. Some of these are in his first book Horal.
