Ristin Sokki (born 1954), sometimes written Risten Sokki, is a Sámi writer and educator in Norway. Her works of poetry and short fiction, written in the Northern Sámi language, draw from her family history and her experiences in Norway's far north. In 1998, her poetry collection Bonán bonán soga suonaid was the Sámi nominee for the Nordic Council Literature Prize.

Sokki was born in 1954 in Kautokeino, a Northern Sámi village in Norway. She is descended from Aslak Hætta, a Sámi revolutionary leader who was executed in the 1850s, and she has grappled with this legacy in her work.
