Ann Mari Falk (December 19, 1916 – July 27, 1988) was a Swedish writer and translator.[1]

The daughter of Ingeborg Larsen and Fritz Söderbergh, she was born Ann-Marie Söderbergh in Stockholm. Her brother Bengt was also a writer. She worked for the insurance company Hansa from 1935 to 1951. Falk published her first novel Fruntimmer in 1944. She later translated children's literature from Danish and Norwegian into Swedish.[1]

Falk won a competition sponsored by publisher Wahlström & Widstrand in 1950. She won the Tidningen Vi:s litteraturpris in 1953[1] and the Astrid Lindgren Prize in 1968.[2]

She was married twice: first to Jan Falk, a journalist, in 1935 and then to the writer Uno Eng in 1948. Falk and Eng had a son.[1]

Falk died at the age of 71.[1]
