Hanna Meretoja (born 3 March 1977, Kaarina) is a Finnish literary scholar and narrative theorist. She is Professor of Comparative Literature and Director of SELMA: Centre for the Study of Storytelling, Experientiality and Memory at the University of Turku.

In 2001, Meretoja received her MA from the University of Turku, where she studied comparative literature as her major and philosophy, art history, cultural history and communications as her minors. In 2010, she completed her PhD in comparative literature at the University of Turku, under the supervision of Liisa Steinby. The title of her thesis is The French Narrative Turn: From the Problematization of Narrative Subjectivity in Alain Robbe-Grillet’s Dans le labyrinthe to its Hermeneutic Rehabilitation in Michel Tournier’s Le Roi des Aulnes. Meretoja was a visiting scholar at the University of Tübingen in 2002–2003, Sorbonne Nouvelle in 2004 and Uppsala University in 2008, as well as a visiting professor at the American University of Paris in 2013–2014. In 2014-2015, she was the first director of the research centre Narrare: Centre for Interdisciplinary Narrative Studies at the University of Tampere.[1]

Meretoja has contributed mainly to the fields of narrative theory, narrative hermeneutics and narrative ethics.[2] Her areas of expertise also include the interrelations between literature, philosophy and history; literary and critical theory; cultural memory studies; trauma studies; philosophical hermeneutics; the intersections of ethics and aesthetics; 20th and 21st century narrative fiction in French, German and English; the socio-critical dimension of literature; and the study of subjectivity, identity and experientiality.[1]

Meretoja is the author of three books, and the co-editor of seven others.

In 2018, Meretoja received the Early Career Award of the Narrative Research Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association.[3] She was inducted into the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in 2023.[4]
