Kim Mahood (born 1953) is an Australian writer and artist based in Wamboin, New South Wales. She spends several months each year in the Tanami and Great Sandy Desert regions where she grew up.

Mahood grew up on Mongrel Downs in the Northern Territory of Australia, which was subsequently known as Tanami Downs Station; this area is now owned by the Mangkururrpa Aboriginal Land Trust. Her early life there features heavily in her literary work, including in her two-part biography ''Craft for a Dry Lake'' (2000) and ''Position Doubtful: Mapping Landscapes and Memories'' (2016). She has maintained strong connections with the Warlpiri traditional owners of Mongrel Down and with the families of the Walmajarri stockmen who worked with her family. Provided by Wikipedia
