西格福斯·達達鬆 (Sigfus Dadason, 1928-1996)二十世紀冰島著名詩人，早年留學法國，回到冰島後主持一傢大型出版社，並主編一份冰島有名的文學雜志。七十年代末起，他開始建立自己的出版企業。他從1951年以來先後出版了六捲詩集，其中第二捲詩集成為冰島詩歌的里程碑。他還翻譯過一些法國散文作品。他早年留學法國的經歷使他的詩受到法國思潮和法國詩歌的影響。

Sigfús Daðason (1928–1996) was one of the more notable 20th-century Icelandic poets. It has been claimed that Daðason "changed the poetic landscape in Iceland". He was one of the pioneers of the Modern movement.

Daðason published his first book of poetry in 1957, and followed this a year later with an influential essay, 'Defence of Poetry', on new trends in poetry. He spent eight years in France studying the Latin language, culture, and French and German literature at the Sorbonne. On his return to Iceland, Daðason edited a cultural review and worked as a publisher. He wrote many essays on literature and culture as well as his books of poetry.

Daðason has been categorised as one of the 'Atom Poets'.
