The Pit and the Pendulum (sh. Jama i klatno) je horor priča američkog pisca Edgara Allana Poea originalno objavljena 1842. godine. Neimenovani protagonist i narator je zatvorenik Španske inkvizicije koji opisuje svoja iskustva u zatvoru, prije svega mučenje, ali i stalni strah od bizarnih i opasnih naprava namijenjenih mučenju i likvidaciji. The Pit and the Pendulum je jedna od rijetkih Poeovih horor-priča koja nema natprirodne elemente, iako u njoj Poe nije previše uzimao u obzir historijske činjenice o Inkviziciji. Priča je postala predmetom nekoliko ekranizacija, od kojih se možda najviše ističe američki igrani film iz 1961. godine u režiji Rogera Cormana.
