Khed Caves, also Bouddh Caves, are a series of ancient Buddhist caves in the city of Khed, Maharashtra, India.[1][2]

The group of caves comprises a large vihara, with three cells for monks, and with a stupa in the back located in an oblong room.[1] There are also four smaller caves in the group.[1] The caves are in a rather derelict state.
