Gakkou de atta Kowai Hanashi (Japanese: 学校であった怖い話, "Schoolhouse Horror Story") is a Survival Horror text-based visual novel for the Super Famicom that was released in 1995 by Banpresto exclusively in Japan. The in-game graphics make use of digitized photographs.

In 1996, a remake for the PlayStation, "Gakkou de atta Kowai Hanashi S", was released. It featured improved graphics, full motion video, and a drastically expanded story.

The game was developed by Pandora Box, a studio founded by game designer and scenario writer Takeo Iijima. The characters and setting would later be used in the Apathy franchise of Visual and Sound Novel games.
