Eiríkur Magnússon bol islandský učenec a prekladateľ, ktorý pôsobil ako knihovník na Univerzite v Cambridge. V spolupráci s Williamom Morrisom vytvoril prvý anglický preklad ságy Völsunga. Jeho práca významne prispela k šíreniu severskej literatúry a mytológie v anglicky hovoriacom svete. Magnússonov precízny prístup a hlboké znalosti staroseverčiny zabezpečili presnosť a literárnu hodnotu jeho prekladov.
