Johann Magnus Bjarnason (1866–1945) was a well known Icelandic author, whose works included humorous articles (Bessi's Letters), plays, short stories, poetry and a novel (Eirikur Hansson), all produced exclusively in the Icelandic language. Bjarnason was also a teacher in the Geysir district of the Interlake. The Government of Iceland honoured Bjarnason with the Cross of the Falcon Order.

This monument sits on the site of the former Bjarnason house and was erected by the Icelandic National League, of which Johann Magnus was the first honourary member.
