Agnes, The Indian Captive: A Poem In Four Cantos, With Other Poems (1811) is a collection of poems written by John Mitford.

The four cantos follow Agnes as she is taken from her home, forced to live among the Native Americans, and eventually rescued and returned to England. Along with Agnes, the collection includes several other poems on various topics, including nature, love, and war. Mitford's writing style is characterized by its use of vivid imagery and emotional depth.
