Carl Ivar Orgland (13 October 1921 – 16 June 1994) was a Norwegian philologist, lexicographer, translator and poet.
From 1950 onwards, he worked at the University of Iceland as a research fellow until 1952 and then lecturer in the Norwegian language.
[2] The doctorate, on the subject of Stefán frá Hvítadal, was taken at the University of Iceland, and Orgland was the first foreigner to do so.
[2] He became known for translating Nordic works to Nynorsk, especially Icelandic—both medieval and modern—but also from the more obscure Faroese language and Modern Gutnish.
[3] For his body of work he won the Bastian Prize,[2] awarded by the Norwegian Association of Literary Translators,[4] in 1986.
