Arthur Rex Dugard Rex Fairburn (2 February 1904 - 25 March 1957) was a New Zealand poet who was born and died in Auckland. He attended Auckland Grammar School, where he first met R. A. K. Mason, and worked at various jobs, including relief work on the roads. Later he tutored in English and lectured on the history and theory of Art at Elam School of Art, Auckland University College. His poetry was initially influenced by the (then unfashionable) Georgian poets.
