Thomas Peter Krag (28 July 1868 – 13 March 1913) was a Norwegian novelist, playwright and writer of short stories.

He made his literary debut in 1891, when he published his first book, the Indian story Fældejægeren eller Skovløberens Forræderi under the pseudonym "Edvard Cherson", and also the novel Jon Græff.

In 1892 he published Fra den gamle By og andre Skildringer, and in 1893 came the story collection Ensomme Mennesker.

Krag settled in Copenhagen, where he was part of the Norwegian colony that frequented the café Bernina, known for his eccentric behaviour and being a night owl.

[2] He was often sitting at Bernina until closing time, making notes of literary ideas on pieces of paper, and then continued writing at his home until dayspring.
