Agnete Loth (18 November 1921 – 2 June 1990) was an editor and translator of Old Norse-Icelandic texts.[1][2] She is notable for editing late medieval romance sagas, which she published in five volumes intended "to provide a long-needed provisional basis for the study" of these sagas.[3]
In 1975, she married the Icelandic philologist and poet Jón Helgason.[1]
