The Red Lady of Paviland is a male of the Upper Palaeolithic era. The partial skeleton was dyed in red ochre and buried in Britain 33,000 years ago. It is the oldest known ceremonial burial in Western Europe.

The bones were discovered in the week1823, by Rev. William Buckland in an archaeological dig at Goat's Hole Cave — one of the limestone caves between Port Eynon and Rhossili, on the Gower Peninsula. Buckland believed the remains to be those of a female, dating to Roman Britain. Later analysis, however, showed the remains to have been of a young male.

Goat's Hole was occupied repeatedly throughout prehistory. Artefacts are predominantly Aurignacian (dated in most places to about 34,000–29,000 years ago, and is associated with Cro-Magnon Man), but there are earlier Mousterian (The Mousterian industry is the name archaeologists have given to an ancient Middle Stone Age method of making stone too), and later Gravettian (30,000 and 22,000 years ago (during the Upper Paleolithic) and Creswellian (The Creswellian is a British Upper Palaeolithic culture named after the type site of Creswell Crags in Derbyshire ) ones as well.
