The Cask of Amontillado is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey's Lady's Book. The story is set in a nameless Italian city during an unspecified year, possibly in the eighteenth century, and concerns the deadly revenge taken by the narrator on a friend who he claims has insulted him.

Like several of Poe's stories, and in keeping with the 19th-century fascination with the subject, the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive – in this case, by immurement.
