The Gloup (grid reference HY591078) is a collapsed sea cave in the Mull Head Nature Reserve in the islands of Orkney, Scotland.
The name derives from the Old Norse "gluppa", meaning a chasm. The cave is separated from the sea by a land bridge about 80 metres wide. It is approximately 40 metres long and 25 metres deep.
It is on the east coast of the Deerness peninsula in the parish of St Andrews on the Orkney Mainland.
