Lars Saabye Christensen (born 21 September 1953 in Oslo) is a Norwegian / Danish author.

Saabye Christensen was raised in the Skillebekk neighbourhood of Oslo, but lived for many years in Sortland Municipality in northern Norway; both places play a major role in his work. He lives in Blindern, the university district of Oslo.

He is half Danish and holds Danish and Norwegian citizenship.[1][2]
