María Dolores Alibés i Riera (2 January 1941 Vidrà, Osona - 8 November 2009 Sant Pau, Ripollès)[1] was a Catalan author of children's books. She was the sister of sports journalist Arcadi Alibés, and was emotionally involved with cartoonist Juan López Fernández, "Jan".[2]

Alibés i Riera was a regular contributor to media outlets (Avui, Cavall Fort, Tretzevents, Regió 7, El 9 Nou, Catalunya Ràdio, Ràdio Olot), and a children's author. She wrote forty books for children, including novels and story books. Some of these books were translated into Basque, Spanish, Aranese, Galician and French.

She was a historian and teacher.[2] Riera remained active, writing books even in 2009, the year she died, since two of her books, Superfantasmas in a Supermarket' (Bruño) and 'Grillo Gherkin' ('Grill cordill' in Catalan, both with Bruño) were published that year.[3]
