Marita Elisabeth Lindquist (née Gustafson; 10 November 1918 – 7 June 2016) was a Finnish author of many children's books.
In addition, she had written song lyrics, illustrated books, and worked as a translator, materials writer, producer, editor, and journalist.
Her repertoire included about forty children's books (usually the characters are fictional but for instance in Santtu Ellinoora series they were inspired by her grandchildren).
At the time of her death, Lindquist was already a widow and had two daughters – Marika and Anki, a folk singer (1945–2007).
