Gail Kathryn Anderson-Dargatz (née Anderson) (born November 14, 1963) is a Canadian novelist.
Anderson-Dargatz was born in Salmon Arm, British Columbia
Her first novel, The Cure for Death by Lightning (1996), was an experimental yet accessible work whose story unfolded partly through narrative and partly through a collection of recipes and household tips belonging to the narrator's mother. It was a Canadian bestseller that year, making Anderson-Dargatz one of the most popular new names in Canadian literature. The novel was nominated for the Giller Prize and was awarded the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize.
