Lathkill Head Cave is a cavern within the limestone of the gorge that forms Lathkill Dale, in the White Peak area of the Peak District, in Derbyshire. The cave mouth is found to the east of Monyash.

In wet weather, the water trickling in innumerable rills into the cave creates a stream gushing forth from its mouth to form the River Lathkill, whence the name of the cave. In dry weather the headwater of the river is formed from the springs a little below.

The rocks here are fissured and complex. Cavers have found a number of entrances into the cave which are explored by the fearless.
