The Taghlar cave (Azerbaijani: Tağlar mağarası; Armenian: Մեծ Թաղերի Քարայր, romanized: Mets Tagheri Karayr) is an archaeological site that was inhabited by prehistoric humans of the Mousterian culture during the Paleolithic. The cave is located in Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh, in the southern part of Boyuk Taghlar (Mets Tagher) village, on the left banks of the Guruchay River.

Ancient people lived here 64-24 thousand years ago.
