Convict Once and Other Poems (1885) is a collection of poetry by Australian poet J. Brunton Stephens. Although "highly valued by contemporary critics",[1] Stephens's work is now largely ignored.

The collection consists of 42 poems, "divided into two sections: the long narrative poem 'Convict Once', followed by 'Miscellaneous Poems'."[2]
