Aeolus Cave or Dorset Bat Cave is a cave located 2,520 feet (770 m) up in the Taconic Mountains in East Dorset, Vermont, USA. Alternate names that have shown up in the literature include Aeolus Cave, Mount Aeolus Cave, and Dorset Bat Cave.

Before white nose syndrome reduced its bat population, Aeolus Bat Cave was noted for being the largest bat hibernaculum in the northeastern United States.[1][2]
