The Pyramid (orig. Swedish Pyramiden) is a collection of five short stories by Swedish crime fiction author Henning Mankell, first published in Sweden in 1999 and translated into English in 2008.^[1] It features his best-known character, police inspector Kurt Wallander.

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

"Wallander's First Case"
