Else Hueck-Dehio (1897–1976) was a German author from the Baltic region of the Russian Empire who wrote stories about Estonia.
Else Dehio was the daughter of a Baltic German doctor, Karl Dehio. She initially qualified as a nurse, but then fled from her Baltic homeland to Berlin ahead of the Russian Revolution in 1918. During the rest of her life she lived in Berlin, Lüdenscheid and, from 1955, in Murnau in Upper Bavaria. From 1934 she wrote numerous stories, books for young people and novels, often with topics from her Baltic homeland. Her children's book Indian Summer ( Indianersommer) was on the shortlist for German Youth Book Prize in 1966. In 1920 she married the manufacturer and later CDU politician, Richard Hueck (1893-1968), who was Mayor of Lüdenscheid in 1946.
Hueck-Dehio died on 30 June 1976 in Murnau.
