Marik Vos-Lundh (née Ericsson; 3 June 1923 – 13 July 1994) was a Swedish costume designer, production designer and set designer. Born in Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg) to a Swedish father and Russian mother, her family moved to Sweden in 1932. She studied decorative painting and related subjects at Konstfack and the Otte Skölds School of Painting, and trained in scenography at the Royal Dramatic Theatre (Dramaten) in Stockholm.
