She received a Nobel in 2020, becoming the first American poet to win the honour since TS Eliot more than 70 years earlier.
Her poems often spoke of trauma and disillusion, with her most famous poem, "Mock Orange", questioning the value of love and sex.
Glück's death was confirmed by her publishers on Friday.
"Louise Gluck's poetry gives voice to our untrusting but unstillable need for knowledge and connection in an often unreliable world," her longtime editor Jonathan Galassi said in a statement. "Her work is immortal."
