Anna Magdalene Thoresen, née Kragh (3 June 1819 – 28 March 1903) was a Danish-Norwegian poet, novelist, short story writer and playwright. She is said to have inspired a number of other writers to model characters after her. Her stepdaughter, Suzannah Ibsen, was married to Henrik Ibsen. A selection of her letters has been published as Breve fra Magdalene Thoresen 1855-1901 (Memoirer og Breve, 1919). After the death of her Norwegian husband, she moved back to Denmark.
