Kjartan Fløgstad (born 7 June 1944) is a Norwegian author. Fløgstad was born in the industrial city of Sauda in Ryfylke, Rogaland. He studied literature and linguistics at the University of Bergen. Subsequently, he worked for a period as an industrial worker and as a sailor before he debuted as a poet with his collection of poems titled Valfart (Pilgrimage) in 1968. He received the Nordic Council's Literature Prize for his 1977 novel Dalen Portland (Dollar Road). Other major works include Fyr og flamme (Fire and Flame), Kron og mynt, Grand Manila and Grense Jakobselv.
Det er stor satire, eventyr og krønike på samme tid, en fabulerende odyssé tilbage i historien og en bredt anlagt nutidsroman, befolket med uforglemmelige personer. Plat og krone er en roman, der vil rumme alt. Brændpunktet for dens mylder af fortællinger er penge, et samfunds forhold til sin fortid - og et Europa, hvor stormfloden truer med at oversvømme hele det politiske landskab.
Den norske forfatter Kjartan Fløgstads roman udkom oprindeligt på dansk i 1999.
