Mâliâraq Vebæk (20 April 1917 – 25 February 2012) was a Greenlandic teacher and writer. She is known as the first woman of Greenland to publish a novel. One of the first women to obtain a higher education in Greenland, she began her career as a teacher. After six years, she relocated to Denmark and worked on archaeological excavations and ethnographic surveys with her husband from 1946 to 1962. She began publishing stories, legends and folktales in the 1950s, both through print media and on radio. In 1981, after having participated in a survey on the intercultural issues for Greenlanders and Danes, published a novel inspired by the research. It won the Greenlandic Authors Association Award for 1982.
