The Lava treasure is the Roman treasure of coins and the gold plate that was discovered underwater in the small Gulf of Lava (part of the Gulf of Ajaccio [fr]), southern Corsica, France, probably in 1958. Also known as the “Corsica hoard”, or “Mediterranean Sea hoard”. It is considered one of world's most important archaeological finds, and presents a unique testimony for the knowledge of Roman imperial coinage.

The discovery was made in the commune of Alata, Corse-du-Sud.
