The Cave of the Circle, also known as the Magic Circle Cave, is a location in Final Fantasy III accessed from a hidden passage in the back room of Doga's Manor. Doga accompanies the party to the end of the cave in order to make the Nautilus submersible. The party must stay in Mini status throughout the cave.

In the Famicom version of the game, the party cannot exit the cave once they have entered it, and once completed, the cave cannot be reentered, as the candle that opens the hidden passage that leads to it becomes extinguished. In the 3D and Pixel Remaster versions, however, the hidden passage remains open and the cave can be revisited at will.

In order to obtain the Eureka Key, Doga orders the Warriors of Light to accompany him through the Cave of the Circle. At the bottom, he warps himself to another dimension, and the Warriors back to his manor, after casting a spell that allows the Nautilus to submerse itself. Then, he asks the Warriors to wake Unei from her sleep by obtaining Noah's Lute at the Temple of Time.
