The Turn of the Screw is an 1898 horror novella by Henry James that first appeared in serial format in Collier's Weekly magazine in 1898.

In the century following its publication, The Turn of the Screw became a cornerstone text of academics. The novella has had differing interpretations, often mutually exclusive. The novella has been adapted numerous times in radio drama, film, stage, and television, including a 1950 Broadway play, the 1961 film The Innocents, and a 2020 modern adaptation named The Turning.
