Harmonium is the first book of poetry by American poet Wallace Stevens, published in 1923. The collection includes many of Stevens' most famous poems such as 'Sunday Morning,' 'Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird,' and 'The Emperor of Ice-Cream.' It is noted for its lush language, imaginative landscapes, and thematic richness.

First edition copies feature an error in the fourth line of the poem 'The Worms at Heaven’s Gate', where 'invisible green' is printed as 'invisible grey'.
