Memory Hold-the-Door is a 1940 autobiographical memoir by the Scottish writer John Buchan. It was published posthumously, Buchan having died in February of that year. In the United States the book was released under the title Pilgrim's Way.

In a preface to the book Buchan disclaims the description of autobiography, preferring to call his work "a journal of certain experiences, not written in the experiencing moment, but rebuilt out of memory".[2]
