Ole Lund Kirkegaard (29 July 1940, Aarhus — 24 March 1979) was a Danish writer of children's literature and youth literature and a teacher. He mainly wrote about the interaction between adult and child. The main character in his books is usually an anti-hero. In 1969 he was awarded with the Danish Ministry of Culture's children book prize (Denmark) (Kulturministeriets Børnebogspris)
Kirkegaard grew up in Skanderborg just south of Aarhus and many of his stories were inspired by his own childhood experiences there. He also illustrated his own books. On a cold winter night in 1979 Kirkegaard, on his way home, fell in the snow and could not get up again, after having had too much to drink. He froze to death on location, at just 38 years of age. The street of Ole Lund Kirkegaards Stræde in Skanderborg, is named after him.
Forfatteren Ole Lund Kirkegaard lægger selv stemme til Gummi-Tarzan - én af forfatterens største klassikere - i en optagelse, der stammer fra 1970'erne. En samlerudgave for børn og andre samlere.
Gummi-Tarzan hedder rigtigt Ivan Olsen. Han er lille og tynd, og han har ingen store muskler. I skolen får han buksevand, og læreren skælder ham ud, fordi han ikke kan læse. Derhjemme får han ballade, fordi han kommer hjem med våde bukser - og hans far kalder ham Gummi-Tarzan, fordi han ikke er stærk nok til at forsvare sig mod de store drenge.
