The British Cave Research Association (BCRA) is a speleological organisation in the United Kingdom.

Its object is to promote the study of caves and associated phenomena, and it attains this by supporting cave and karst research, encouraging original exploration (both in the UK and on expeditions overseas), collecting and publishing speleological information, maintaining a library and organising educational and scientific conferences and meetings.

It publishes the periodical Cave and Karst Science[3] (three issues per year) and the annual BCRA Review.

BCRA hosts an annual Science Symposium at which short papers are informally presented.

BCRA has also hosted symposiums on Cave Technology, featuring contributions from its Special Interest Groups.

It mostly comprises published and archived material collected by BCRA and its predecessor organisations, with a minority of the items on long-term loan from clubs and individuals.
