Keva's pit cave (croatian: Kevina jama) is pit cave in village Radošić in municipality Lećevica, part of Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.

Pit cave is famous for its historical value – during World War II Yugoslav Partisans, by ethnicity Serbs, used this pit cave for torture of local Croats and Italian soldiers, who disagreed with their nationalistic regime.

Pit cave has funnel form, which is on the widest part about 35 meters wide. In the middle of the pit cave there is carbonated "skittle" made of limestone and other materials of karst.

During archeological and historical researches between 2013 and 2015, scientists discovered that anti-fascistic Serb soldiers kiled Vladimir Studa and group of very young civils in September 1943, because of their prejudice to catholics and Croats, who live in this area.
