Consider the wreath product $H\,\wr \,G$, where $H\,\ne \,1$ is finite and $G$ is finitely generated. We show that the Assouad–Nagata dimension ${{\dim}_{AN}}\left( H\,\wr \,G \right)$ of $H\,\wr \,G$ depends on the growth of $G$ as follows: if the growth of $G$ is not bounded by a linear function, then ${{\dim}_{AN}}\left( H\,\wr \,G \right)\,=\,\infty$; otherwise ${{\dim}_{AN}}\left( H\,\wr \,G \right)\,=\,{{\dim}_{AN}}\left( G \right)\,\le \,1$.
