Jóhanna Maria Skylv Hansen (February 17, 1877 – February 2, 1974) was a Faroese writer, the first woman from the Faroe Islands to have her work published.
After her children were older, Hansen began writing.
At first, she translated hymns and poetry for publication, including a poem by Hans Christian Andersen.
In 1950, she published her first book Gamla götur, a collection of stories based on her childhood memories and stories collected from older people.
