Lapis Cave (Japanese: 群青洞窟 Ultramarine Cave) is the eighth dungeon in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. It consists of 14 floors and is a cave filled with blue jewels similar in appearance to lapis lazuli.

This dungeon is visited automatically two days after Great Canyon is cleared for the first time. Mt. Blaze will be visited immediately afterwards. Alternatively, if the player is defeated in this dungeon on their first visit, they will have the option to go to Rock Path before attempting this dungeon again.
