Cobra Trap is the title of a short story collection by Peter O'Donnell featuring his secret agent heroine Modesty Blaise. The book was published in 1996, and is considered the last collection of Modesty Blaise literature, as O'Donnell retired from writing a few years later and is vehemently opposed to anyone else writing about his creation.

The short stories featured in the collection were:

"Bellman"
"The Dark Angels"
"Old Alex"
"The Girl With the Black Balloon"
"Cobra Trap"

In 2002, a comic book adaptation of "The Dark Angels" was published in Scandinavia as a postscript to the British Modesty Blaise daily strip, which O'Donnell retired in 2001.

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

"Cobra Trap", the title piece of the collection, is the most controversial Modesty Blaise story ever published, in that it profiles the final mission of Modesty and her partner, Willie Garvin, with a tragic finale that upset many longtime fans of the Modesty Blaise novels and comic strip.
