Hufstedler Gravehouse or Pinckney's Tomb is a grave shelter, or grave house, near Linden, Tennessee, that is considered to be the largest grave house in the U.S. state of Tennessee.[2] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The grave house is a limestone and wood structure that covers the burial site of local farmer Pinckney Hufstedler and members of his family. It was originally built as a graveyard for about 10 to 12 burials, surrounded by a wall of cut stone almost {{convert|5|ft}} high. Wooden walls and a roof were added because of Pinckney Hufstedler's fears that water could get into his tomb.[3] Hufstedler also asked that his body be transported to the burial site in a wagon drawn by white oxen, rather than mules.[2]

The structure is deemed to be a rare example of vernacular rural cemetery architecture of the 19th century.[3] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1] In 2009, the Tennessee Preservation Trust listed it as one of the state's ten most endangered historic sites, noting that the foundation was beginning to fail.[3][4]
