The Trap is a single by German industrial music band X Marks the Pedwalk, taken from the album which follows it, Human Desolation.

The Trap is the fifth single by X Marks the Pedwalk, the sixth including the band's earlier name, Scarecrow.

The preceding single, Cenotaph, was the last appearance by Sevren Ni-Arb's bandmate Regan Eracs, thus to fill the void for the production of The Trap, Sevren Ni-Arb enlisted the help of his brother, who became known as Raive Yarx.

In a review of The Trap, For Crying Out Loud describes the sound as "[E]lectro while rough in feeling."

The Trap was also the first X Marks the Pedwalk release to be recorded in Sevren Ni-Arb's T.G.I.F.
