Tajemnica Baskerville'ów (ang. The Hound of the Baskervilles - Pies Baskerville'ów) - powieść detektywistyczna sir Artura Conan Doyle'a, wydana w czasopiśmie The Strand Magazine w latach 1901-1902 (wydanie polskie 1902). Jedna z najsłynniejszych pozycji, należących do cyklu opowieści o detektywie Sherlocku Holmesie. Jej akcja rozgrywa się na ponurych wrzosowiskach hrabstwa Devon.
Powieść zaczyna się przyjazdem dr Mortimera do Londynu na Baker Street. Lekarz opowiada Sherlockowi Holmesowi i Watsonowi historię o psie. W tajemniczych okolicznościach giną kolejni spadkobiercy majątku Baskerville'ów. Miejscowa ludność przypisuje owe zagadkowe zgony działaniu klątwy, prześladującej od ponad dwustu lat rodzinę Baskerville'ów. Holmes wysyła Watsona wraz z przybyłym zza oceanu, ostatnim spadkobiercą, sir Henrym, do posiadłości Baskerville'ów. Tam przez długi czas Watson odkrywa kolejne elementy zagadki i dzieli się z Holmesem zdobytą wiedzą.

Work Description
The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of the four crime novels by British writer Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. Originally serialised in The Strand Magazine from August 1901 to April 1902, it is set in 1889 largely on Dartmoor in Devon in England's West Country and tells the story of an attempted murder inspired by the legend of a fearsome, diabolical hound of supernatural origin. Holmes and Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.
One of the most famous stories ever written, in 2003, the book was listed as number 128 of 200 on the BBC's The Big Read poll of the UK's "best-loved novel". In 1999, a poll of "Sherlockians" ranked it as the best of the four Holmes novels.
