El Poema de mio Cid, o Cantar de mio Cid, es un cantar de gesta anónimo que relata hazañas heroicas inspiradas libremente en los últimos años de la vida del caballero castellano Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar el Campeador. La versión conservada fue compuesta, según la mayoría de la crítica actual, alrededor del año 1200.

Se trata de la primera obra poética extensa de la literatura española y el único cantar épico de la misma conservado casi completo; solo se han perdido la primera hoja del original y otras dos en el interior del códice, aunque el contenido de las lagunas existentes puede ser deducido de las prosificaciones cronísticas, en especial de la Crónica de veinte reyes.

La relevancia del Cantar no se limita a lo literario sino que da inicio a toda una disciplina intelectual: la filología como ciencia moderna en España a finales del siglo XIX, que se inicia con el estudio de este poema por parte de Ramón Menéndez Pidal (1869-1968) y su decisión de aplicar por primera vez a este texto el método histórico-crítico, la más potente herramienta de la filología de su época, inaugurando así los estudios filológicos españoles.
