Arturo Borja Pérez (1892 – November 13, 1912) was an Ecuadorian poet who was part of a group known as the "Generación decapitada" (Decapitated Generation). He was the first in the group to excel as a modernist poet. He did not produce a lot of poetry, but the small amount of poetry he produced showed great quality. He published twenty poems in a book titled ''La flauta de ónix'', and six other poems were published posthumously. The group is called "decapitada", or decapitated, because all its members committed suicide at a young age.
