Steinn Steinarr (born Aðalsteinn Kristmundsson, 13 October 1908 – 25 May 1958) was an Icelandic poet. Many Icelanders regard Steinn Steinarr as their greatest poet, although he remains almost unknown outside of Iceland, due perhaps to a lack of effective translations of his poetry.
In 2008, 100 years after his birth and 50 years after his death, he is beginning to gain popularity outside of Iceland.
Not only is he wildly popular among Iceland’s youth, but international interest in his poetry is growing.
