Bertil Falk (b. 1933) is a retired newspaper and TV journalist, and a living legend in Swedish SF and crime fiction circles, published internationally in English, Chinese and Filipino. He got his first SF story published when he was twelve years old in 1946, making his debut as a novelist in 1954 with a crime mystery. He has been featured in, among others, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Crimespree Magazine and the anthology Passport to Crime: Finest Mystery Stories from International Crime Writers edited by Janet Hutchings.

In 2016, his biography of the politician Feroze Gandhi, Feroze -- the Forgotten Gandhi, was published by Roli Books in India and made Bertil Falk a celebrity in the country; Feroze was the husband of Indira Gandhi, who erased him from history after his death. And in 2020, his great work Faktasin about the Swedish history of science fiction literature, was published in three volumes, based on a 1000-page manuscript he had worked on almost his whole life.
