Die längliche Kiste ist eine Kurzgeschichte von Edgar Allan Poe, die erstmals am 28. August 1844 in der Wochenzeitung Dollar Newspaper veröffentlicht wurde. Die Geschichte handelt von einer Seereise und einer mysteriösen Kiste. Der namenlose Protagonist und Erzähler bucht auf dem Paketschiff „Independence“ von Kapitän Hardy eine Überfahrt von Charleston nach New York. Auf der Passagierliste entdeckt er den Namen des Künstlers Cornelius Wyatt, mit dem er seit der gemeinsamen Studienzeit befreundet ist.

Im westenglischen Boscombe Valley wird der Großfarmer Charles McCarthy an einem bewaldeten Teich tot aufgefunden, wo er einen wichtigen Termin mit einem Unbekannten gehabt haben soll.

Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson werden von dem jungen John Openshaw um Hilfe gebeten, der einen Brief erhielt, in dem sich fünf getrocknete Orangenkerne befanden.
