Ole Lund Kirkegaard (29 July 1940, Aarhus — 24 March 1979) was a Danish writer of children's literature and youth literature. He mainly wrote about the interaction between adult and child. The main character in his books is usually an anti-hero.

One night he had been sitting and drinking in a pub, he was on his way home feeling sick and fell over in the snow, drunk. There he froze to death, almost 39 years old.
