"Of Ane Blak-Moir" is a short poem in Scots by William Dunbar (born 1459 or 1460). It takes the form of a hymn in praise of a beautiful lady, but is a parody of the form. The lady addressed is apparently an African woman playing a role in a tournament or chivalric pageant. It is one of the first references to someone of Sub-Saharan African origin living in Scotland. The "portrayal of the black woman creates a very unfavourable contrast between black female physiology and that of white ladies at court". The text of the poem is preserved in the Maitland Folio Manuscript.
