Guthlac poems A and B "Guthlac A" and "Guthlac B" are a pair of Anglo-Saxon poems written in celebration of the deeds and death of Saint Guthlac of Croyland, a popular Mercian saint.

They are clearly intended to be considered two items, judging from the scribe's use of large initials at the start of each poem.
