Vanis Kvabebi ({{lang-ka|ვანის ქვაბები}}; {{langx|en|Vani's Caves}}) is a cave monastery in Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia near Aspindza town and the more famous cave city of Vardzia. The complex dates from 8th century and consists of a defensive wall built in 1204 and a maze of tunnels running on several levels in the side of the mountain.

There are also two churches in the complex. A newer stone church that is in quite good shape stands near the top of the wall, and a smaller, domed church that clings to the rock on the level of the highest tunnels

The complex has undergone a USAID programme to update its infrastructure.{{cite web |author= |date= 6 Jan 2020|title= Heritage sites receive infrastructure upgrade in USAID programme
