Margo Lanagan (born 1960) in Waratah, New South Wales is an Australian writer of short stories and young adult fiction.

Many of her books, including YA fiction, were only published in Australia. Recently, several of her books have attracted worldwide attention. Her short story collection Black Juice (ISBN 0-06-074392-1) won two World Fantasy Awards and a 2006 Printz Honor Award. It was published in Australia by Allen & Unwin and the United Kingdom by Gollancz in 2004, and in North America by HarperCollins in 2005. It includes the much-anthologized short story "Singing My Sister Down."

Her short story collection White Time (ISBN 0-06-074393-X), originally published in Australia by Allen & Unwin in 2000, was published in North America by HarperCollins in August 2006, after the success of Black Juice.

In addition to Black Juice, a 2006 recipient, Tender Morsels also won a Printz Honor Award in 2009.
