Rapture is a collection of poetry written by Scottish poet Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 2009 to 2019. It marks her 37th work of poetry and has been described as "intensely personal, emotional and elegiac, and markedly different from Duffy’s other works" by the British Council. Rapture was first published in 2005 in the UK by Picador, and in 2013 in the US by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.
Rapture received the 2005 T. S. Eliot Prize.
