Anton Ingolič (5 January 1907 – 11 March 1992) was a Slovene writer, playwright, and editor. He is best known for his novels and youth literature.

Ingolič was born in Spodnja Polskava near Slovenska Bistrica in the Austro-Hungarian Duchy of Styria (present-day eastern Slovenia). He went to the local school and completed his secondary education in Maribor before studying in Ljubljana and Paris. He worked as a secondary-school Slovene and French language teacher in Ptuj, Maribor, and Ljubljana.[1] He was editor of the journal Nova Obzorja and became a member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1976.[2]

He won the Prešeren Award twice, in 1949 for his novel Pot po nasipu and in 1978 for his literary opus for youth and adults.[3] Between 1961 and 1963 he was president of the Slovene Writers' Association.[4]

The primary school in Spodnja Polskava is named after Ingolič.[5]
