Luray Caverns, originally called Luray Cave, is a cave just west of Luray, Virginia, United States, which has drawn many visitors since its discovery in 1878. The cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems such as columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, and mirrored pools. The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithophone made from solenoid-fired strikers that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells.

(fr) Jaskinie w Luray (ang. Luray Caverns) – zespół jaskiń krasowych znajdujących się na zachód od amerykańskiego miasta Luray w stanie Wirginia. Jaskinie w Luray udostępnione są zwiedzającym i wyposażone w oświetlone chodniki (ang. commercial cave). Odkryte zostały w roku 1878. W ich wnętrzu znajdują się różne spektakularne formy nacieków jaskiniowych (stalaktyty, stalagmity, stalagnaty, draperie naciekowe, misy martwicowe, , jeziora lustrzane, itp.). Jaskinie zawdzięczają swą sławę także litofonowi – The Great Stalacpipe Organ. Litofon składa się z uruchamianych przez solenoidy gumowych młoteczków, które uderzają w stalaktyty, wydając dźwięki podobne do ksylofonu lub kamertonu.
