Morag Hood (born 1986) is a Scottish writer and illustrator of children's books.

Many of her stories concern relationships, inclusion and prejudice. She has an MA in children's book illustration from the Cambridge School of Art.[2] Hood was the winner of the UKLA book awards in the 3–6 category in 2018, for Colin and Lee, Carrot and Pea, and in 2019 for I am Bat.[3] Her books have been nominated for several other awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2017,[4] 2018[5] and 2019.[6]
