Signe Iversen is a Sami language consultant and author of children's literature.
Iversen is best known for her first book, published in 2011 in North Sami as Mánugánda ja Heike and translated into Norwegian as Månegutten og Heike. The book was nominated in 2013 for the first annual Nordic Council Children and Young People's Literature Prize in the Sami language category.
