Johan August Strindberg (AFI: [ˈǒːɡɵst ˈstrɪ̂nːdbærj]; Stoccolma, 22 gennaio 1849 – Stoccolma, 14 maggio 1912) è stato un drammaturgo, scrittore e poeta svedese. Per la vastità e la rilevanza della produzione (che ricopre praticamente tutti i generi letterari ed è raccolta in circa cinquanta volumi, a cui se ne aggiungono ventidue di corrispondenze), il suo nome affianca il norvegese Henrik Ibsen all'apice della tradizione letteraria scandinava e raggiunge per riconoscimento unanime un seggio tra i massimi artisti letterati del mondo. La vita di Strindberg fu tumultuosa, tessuta di esperienze complesse e scelte radicali e contraddittorie, a tratti rivolta contemporaneamente a molteplici discipline non direttamente attinenti alla figura ufficialmente letteraria dell'autore: scultura, pittura e fotografia, chimica, alchimia, teosofia. Sintomi di una rottura intima del proprio animo con la dimensione convenzionale del tempo e del vivere, elementi dunque reciprocamente contaminati nell'atto creativo e fondamentali per la sua interpretazione. Fu il destinatario di uno dei biglietti della follia di Friedrich Nietzsche.
