O Aqueduto dos Pegões, foi construído com a finalidade de abastecer de água o Convento de Cristo em Tomar, e tem cerca 6 km de extensão.

A sua construção foi iniciada em 1593, no reinado de Filipe I de Portugal, sob a direcção de Filipe Terzio, (arquitecto-mor do reino) e foi concluída em 1614 por Pedro Fernando de Torres.

O aqueduto tem 58 arcos de volta inteira, na sua parte mais elevada, sobre 16 arcos ogivais apoiados em pilares. A sua altura máxima é de 30 metros. Nos extremos apresenta casas abobadadas, que têm no centro, uma larga pia destinada à decantação da água.

Está classificado pelo IGESPAR como Monumento Nacional desde 1910.
