The Cave of Nicanor /naɪˈkeɪnər/ is an ancient burial cave located on Mount Scopus in Jerusalem, Israel. Excavations in the cave discovered an ossuary referring to "Nicanor the door maker." The cave is located in the National Botanic Garden of Israel on the grounds of the Mount Scopus campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In 1903, John Gray Hill discovered the family tomb of Nicanor of Alexandria in a field just north of his house. Gladys Dickson brought it to the attention of the Palestine Exploration Fund. Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau, a French diplomat and orientalist, examined it, publishing his conclusions in the Palestine Exploration Fund Quarterly Statement. Later that year Dickson published a detailed report on the tomb complex illustrated with plans by R.A. Stewart Macalister. Gray Hill gave the ossuary to the Palestine Exploration Fund, which transferred it to the British Museum.
