The Fugoppe Cave is an archaeological site in the Sakae-chō neighborhood of the town of Yoichi, Hokkaidō, Japan, with Zoku-Jōmon period petroglyphs. It is one of only two known to exist among the more than 700 cave sites in the Japanese archipelago, along with the Temiya Cave in nearby Otaru. The cave was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1951. "Fugoppe" is the name of the former village where the cave is located.
