Peter Nansen (20 January 1861 – 31 July 1918) was a Danish novelist, journalist, and publisher. He is best known as the author of the novels Julie's Diary, Marie, and God's Peace, which together constitute Love's Trilogy. Marie in particular became in short order very highly esteemed, and Pierre Bonnard's illustrations (which appeared in 1897 in La Revue Blanche) for the novel were much admired by Renoir.
