Kristian Osvald Viderø (27 May 1906, in Skálavík – 8 April 1991, in Copenhagen) was a Faroese clergyman, poet and Bible translator. In 1985 he won the Faroese Literature Prize for his works.

After theological studies in Denmark, Viderø oversaw the completion of a translation of the Old Testament into the Faroese language, which Jákup Dahl had worked on until his death in 1944. He was the parish priest of Hattarvík from 1965 to 1969. Viderø was commemorated on a Faroese postage stamp in a series on Faroese Bible translators in June 2007. ^{[1] [2]}
