Marrawijinie Cave is cave located in the Australian state of South Australia within the gazetted locality of Nullarbor[1] on the Nullarbor Plain.

This cave[2] is open to the public but safety precautions should be taken before driving off the Eyre Highway. The entry is located approximately {{convert|10|km|mi|0}} north of the Nullarbor Roadhouse along a rough track.[3]

The main entry is a doline, a collapsed cave, another two entries are close by which is typical of the Nullarbor's karst topography. Hawks and Swallows use the caves as nesting sites.[3]

One of the entries has hand stencils made from ochre drawn by Indigenous Australians on the walls.[4]

Since June 2013, the cave has been located within the protected area known as the Nullarbor Wilderness Protection Area.[5]
