Prince of Poets is a reality television poetry competition broadcast on the Emirati network Abu Dhabi TV. It was created in April 2007 by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage and airs live from the Al Raha Beach Theatre every week. The winner is awarded one million dirhams, along with a symbolic cloak and ring. Reflecting the cultural significance of poetry in the Arab world, the program has consistently achieved high ratings, surpassing those of football and other reality TV shows, attracting a studio audience of thousands and a television audience of millions. The competition's title pays homage to the renowned Arabic-language epic poet Ahmed Shawqi.

Each year, thousands of poets from across the Arab world submit their work, with several dozen selected to compete. Contestants present their poems and are often asked to improvise on various topics. A panel of esteemed poets and critics provides feedback and judges the entries, while the studio audience and viewers at home can vote for their favorite poets. Despite its title, the competition is open to both male and female poets. The show also features Prince of Poets Xtra, an interview segment that airs after each episode.

Prince of Poets is akin to another Emirati poetry competition, Million's Poet. While Million's Poet promotes Nabati (Bedouin) poetry, Prince of Poets focuses on classical Arabic poetry, aiming to revive its prominence in modern society. Both competitions have been likened to American Idol for their format and popularity.
