Gordon Hølmebakk (26 February 1928 – 10 January 2018) was a Norwegian publishing editor, essayist and novelist.
He was the son of Søren Adolf Svindland (1881–1966) and Inger Marie Abrahamsen Møgedal (1888–1949).
[2] He entered the University of Oslo in 1950, where he came into contact with Harald Grieg, the director of the publishing firm Gyldendal Norsk Forlag.
Hølmebakk soon came to assume responsibility of the large number of translations from contemporary world literature in Den gule serie, which Sigurd Hoel (1890–1960) had previously edited since 1929.
Hølmebakk edited a new series in which many important avant-garde foreign authors were introduced in Norway.
