El Guardavía (The Signal-Man) es un relato de terror escrito por Charles Dickens y publicado en diciembre de 1866. El relato mezcla terror y elegancia y demuestra que pueden ir de la mano. Se trata de un cuento de terror clásico, aunque el verdadero talento del autor es el contraste que nos crea con la tranquilidad de pausas y llanos apacibles, y luego nos sacude con el horror psicológico que atormenta a sus personajes protagonistas. Está ambientado en el portal del túnel de Clayton, West Sussex, Inglaterra y fue inspirado por dos accidentes de trenes.
