Sun Baked Snow Cave is a collaborative album between Merzbow (Japanese noise musician Masami Akita) and Japanese experimental doom band Boris, released on the Boston-based Hydra Head label in 2005.

The album consists of a single track that clocks in at over an hour in length. The album artwork was done by Sunn O))) member and regular Hydra Head designer Stephen O'Malley. The liner notes of the album read:

"The roar of a (gigantic) wheel as it turns uncontrollably.
I vaguely recall it in a warm snow cave.
A boom like a chorus of thousands of cicadas heard under the sun.
Such a story deserves to be born."
