Anders Heger (born 1957) is a Norwegian publisher and writer. In 1982, Heger started Radio Nova, the first student radio in Norway. In 1985, he wrote a book about the juridical process against the Norwegian writer Agnar Mykle, and later, in 1999 wrote Et diktet liv, a biography about Agnar Mykle, which received the Brage Prize (the Norwegian equivalent to the Booker Prize). Heger's grandfather, Johan Bernhard Hjort, was Mykles lawyer.
Heger became director of the Norwegian publishing company Cappelen (owned by the Swedish mediahouse Bonnier) in 1991. Heger is described in the media as "the most powerful man in the bookpublishing industry in Norway". His interests include cross-country-skiing and "gøbbing" (exchanging ideas with members of a think-tank).
