Blue Cave or In Blue Cave[2] is the seventh studio album by Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus.[3] The album was released in May 1996 and peaked at number 18 on the ARIA charts.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 1996, the album was nominated for Best Pop Release.[4]

EMI re-released the album on 6 February 2005[5] with six additional tracks, a fold out poster and liner notes by Charles Fisher, the record producer.

The album title Blue Cave originates from a brothel named "Gruta Azul" that they visited when touring in Porto Alegre, Brazil.[6] The brothel which inspired the title is still open until the present date.[7]
