Jorma Ojaharju (Vaasa, 10 October 1938 – 8 February 2011) was a Finnish author.

He had been described as a "boxer of rough prose" because of his background as a

magical realism. Aside from being a writer and his history as a sailor, Ojaharju also worked as a rock blaster, a harbour and dock worker, and a diver. At the beginning of the 2000s he was among the contributors of the Kanava magazine.[1]

Ojaharju died on 8 February 2011 at the age of 72. He is buried in the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.[2]
