{{Short description|Norwegian librarian and editor}} '''Anders Krogvig''' (29 April 1880 – 3 April 1924) was a Norwegian librarian, writer, literary consultant and critic.
He was born in Kristiania as the son of Carl Gustav Krogvig and Antonette Pedersen. He was a first cousin of Tryggve Andersen. In April 1903 he married Aagot Kristine Moe (1881–1923). He finished his secondary education in 1899, and enrolled in philology at the University of Kristiania. However, he did not graduate. Instead he took work as a librarian, first at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design from 1909 to 1918, then in the Norwegian Parliament from 1921 to his death. He applied for a professorship at the university in 1919, but was not appointed.<ref name=nbl>{{cite encyclopedia|year=2002|title=Anders Krogvig|encyclopedia=Norsk biografisk leksikon|first=Sigurd Aa.|last=Aarnes|volume=5|editor=Helle, Knut|publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget|location=Oslo|url=https://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Anders_Krogvig/utdypning|language=Norwegian|accessdate=4 April 2009}}</ref>
