Svend Aage Madsen (born November 2, 1939) is a Danish author. He studied mathematics before he began writing novels.

Most of his novels combines to one big Chronicle of the heir of characters living in and around Aarhus.

A returning trait in his books is that the people depicted in his books face some sort of extreme situation, which brings forth a philosophical theme to the novel.
