Lya Luft (born September 15, 1938, in Santa Cruz do Sul, Brazil) is a writer, a novelist, a poet, a prolific translator (working mostly in the English-Portuguese and the German-Portuguese language combinations). The author was a college professor of linguistics and literature. Luft currently writes an opinion column for Veja magazine.

Since her youth she has been living in Porto Alegre.

Santa Cruz do Sul is peculiar due to the fact that it was settled largely by German speaking immigrants, starting in the first half of the 1800s. There still is a notable percentage of the population who speaks both German and Portuguese. Lya Luft grew up in such a bilingual environment.

Lya Luft's works have been translated into other European languages, like German, English and Italian, etc.
