Magnus Malm (* 1951) ist ein schwedischer Buchautor, Publizist und Exerzitienbegleiter mit freikirchlich-ökumenischer Prägung. Er verbindet biblische Nachfolge mit altkirchlich-klösterlicher Spiritualität und wendet sich gegen leistungsorientierte Leiterschaft sowie geistlichen Aktivismus. Bibellesern bietet sein Werk Impulse für ein von Gnade statt Erfolgsdruck geprägtes Glaubensleben, stieß jedoch wegen seiner Kritik an der öffentlichen Thematisierung von Gemeindeverletzungen auch auf Widerspruch von Betroffenen.
