Margit Sandemo (maiden name Underdal, b. 1924) is a Norwegian historical fantasy author, living in the south of Sweden through most of the year, except for summer when she lives in Fagernes, Valdres, Oppland, Norway.

Margit has been writing since the early 1964. Her books, which weave supernatural themes with historical facts, have made her well-loved throughout Nordic countries and beyond. Her books can be read in Danish, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish and Swedish.

She has written some stand-alone books, but her main claims to fame are her series: Sagan om Isfolket (Saga of the Icepeople), Häxmästaren (The Warlock), Legenden om Ljusets rike (The Legend of the Realm of Light), De Svarta Riddarna (The Black Knights), and Blåljus! (Bluelight!), Historien om en fjälldal (History about a Mountainvalley), Sandemo-serie (Best Serials by Margit Sandemo) and Trollrunor (Magical Runes). Of her extensive series, Sagan om Isfolket is perhaps that for which she is best known. It is made up of 47 books following generations from the 16th century until present day as they battle a terrible family curse.
