Kirsti Malterud (born 1949) is a physician and Norway’s first female professor of general practice. Together with social psychology professor Norman Anderssen, Malterud led the project Sexual Orientation and Living Conditions, which resulted in two comprehensive reports on the living conditions of LGBTQ+ people in Norway (2013 and 2015).

Skeivt arkiv interviewed her in the spring of 2016, where she spoke, among other things, about the Oslo Health Council’s advisory service for homosexuals, which she helped establish in 1977.
