Vita Sackville-West

Victoria Mary Sackville-West, Lady Nicolson, CH (9 Maret 1892 – 2 Juni 1962), biasanya dikenal sebagai Vita Sackville-West, adalah seorang penulis Inggris dan desainer taman.

Dia adalah seorang novelis, penyair, dan jurnalis yang sukses, serta penulis surat dan penulis buku harian yang produktif. Dia menerbitkan lebih dari selusin koleksi puisi selama hidupnya dan 13 novel. Dia dua kali dianugerahi Hawthornden Prize for Imaginative Literature: pada tahun 1927 untuk epik pastoralnya, The Land, dan pada tahun 1933 untuk Collected Puisi. Dia adalah inspirasi untuk protagonis dari Orlando: A Biography, oleh teman dan kekasihnya yang terkenal, Virginia Woolf.
