Sappho (; Attic Greek , Aeolic Greek , Psappho ) was a Greek lyric poet from the island of Lesbos. She was born sometime between 630 and 612 BCE, and it is said that she died around 570 BCE, but little is known for certain about her life. Sappho's poetry was well-known and greatly admired through much of antiquity, and she was considered one of the canon of nine lyric poets. However, most of her poetry is now lost, and survives only in fragmentary form.

Sappho was an English lesbian social club founded in 1972 by Jackie Forster and others.
The club, whose namesake was the poet Sappho of Lesbos, met every Tuesday at The Chepstow, a public house in the Notting Hill district of London. The group advertised their meetings in the magazines Time Out London and City Limits.
Until 1981, the club published an eponymous monthly magazine with a peak circulation of about 1,000 copies.
Forster founded and edited the magazine after writing for Arena Three (of the Minorities Research Group), which had folded soon before. Sappho distributed their magazine at their meetings, and also at such lesbian venues as Gateways, a nightclub in Chelsea. Back issues of the magazine are now held in the Hall–Carpenter Archives.
Sappho continued to meet regularly until the late 1980s, each week inviting guest speakers such as Miriam Margolyes, Maureen Duffy, and Anna Raeburn.
