+description: |-
+  Provides information about a Escalation Policy.
+
+  This data source can be helpful when an escalation policy is handled outside Terraform but still want to reference it in other resources.
+---
+
+# pagerduty\_escalation_policy
+
+Use this data source to get information about a specific [escalation policy][1] that you can use for other PagerDuty resources.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+data "pagerduty_escalation_policy" "test" {
+  name = "Engineering Escalation Policy"
+}
+
+resource "pagerduty_service" "test" {
+  name                    = "My Web App"
+  auto_resolve_timeout    = 14400
+  acknowledgement_timeout = 600
+  escalation_policy       = "${data.pagerduty_escalation_policy.test.id}"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (Required) The name to use to find an escalation policy in the PagerDuty API.  
+
+## Attributes Reference
+* `name` - The short name of the found escalation policy.
