Little Hands Clapping, is a novel by British author Dan Rhodes, published in 2010 by Canongate.

Its title comes from a line in Robert Browning's poem The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

The novel centres around a bizarre German museum dedicated to suicide; Herr Schmidt, its grim grey curator; and the respectable Doctor Ernst Frölicher and his shocking secret.

Various characters appear with short lifestories including the Luciano Pavarotti-obsessed founder of the museum and her Pavarotti-lookalike husband, Hulda the cleaner who believes she is doomed to Hell, and Madalena the suicidal Portuguese student.
