Johan August Strindberg (Estocolmo, 22 de enero de 1849 - Estocolmo, 14 de mayo de 1912) fue un escritor y dramaturgo sueco. Considerado como uno de los escritores más importantes de Suecia y reconocido en el mundo principalmente por sus obras de teatro, se le considera el renovador del teatro sueco y precursor o antecedente del teatro de la crueldad y teatro del absurdo. Su carrera literaria comenzó a los veinte años de edad y su extensa y polifacética producción ha sido recogida en más de setenta volúmenes que incluyen todos los géneros literarios. Se interesó por la fotografía y la pintura, y en una etapa de su vida le obsesionó la alquimia. De personalidad esquizofrénica, durante la mayor parte de su vida se sintió acosado y perseguido. Esta peculiaridad dotó a su obra de una especial fuerza y dramatismo. Strindberg se casó tres veces —con , Frida Uhl y Harriet Bosse—. Tuvo hijos con todas ellas y las tres fueron experiencias matrimoniales desastrosas. Protagonizó fuertes polémicas éticas y políticas. A su muerte, fue reconocido como una persona notable en Suecia, y asistieron más de 50 000 personas a su entierro.
