Pyramiden (2000, English title The Pyramid) is a collection of five short stories by Swedish crime fiction author Henning Mankell featuring his best known character, police inspector Kurt Wallander. While it was written after the 8th novel, Firewall, the events depicted in The Pyramid take place well before Faceless Killer, making it chronologically the first in the series. The first story takes place in 1969 while the last occurs in 1989-90. In the stories, the reader sees Wallander on his first case and also before he meets his future wife Mona. In reviews it is often noted that there is very little tension built-up in the stories (except The Pyramid), usually attributed to the fact that they are so short.

The unconfirmed English translation of the titles for each of the short stories is:

  • Wallander's First Case
  • The Man with the Mask
  • The Man at the Beach
  • The Death of the Photographer
  • The Pyramid
