The Govještica cave, also known as Dugovještica cave, is located in the canyon of the Prača River, a left tributary of the Drina River, at the foot of the Romanija massif, about 40 kilometers east of Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Administratively, the cave belongs to the municipality of Rogatica.

It is 9,682 meters long and is still in the research phase. Near this cave is the Mračna Pećina or Banj Stijena at a distance of less than one kilometer, and the third cave is Golubovićka, which can be approached from the direction of the Rogatica hamlet of Stjenica, which all together makes up a real complex of caves in one small area.
