Ole Lund Kirkegaard (29 July 1940, in Aarhus – 24 March 1979) was a Danish writer of children's and youth literature, as well as a teacher.
In 1969, he was awarded with the Danish Ministry of Culture's children book prize (Kulturministeriets Børnebogspris)[1] Kirkegaard grew up in Skanderborg just south of Aarhus, and many of his stories were inspired by his own childhood experiences there.
On a cold winter night in 1979, after having had too much to drink, he fell in the snow on his way home and could not get up again.
A street in Skanderborg is named after him (Ole Lund Kirkegaards Stræde).
