Saint of the Pit is the fourth album by American avant-garde artist Diamanda Galás, released on 17 November 1986 by record label Mute.

Saint of the Pit is the second instalment of her "Masque of the Red Death" trilogy about the AIDS epidemic. In this instalment, she focuses on musical settings of poems by French Decadents.

Trouser Press wrote "Galás' astonishingly varied singing styles and the hypnotic effect of the record's three claustrophobic, obsessive pieces makes Saint of the Pit a powerful document of suffering."

All music composed by Diamanda Galás.
