Der Grottenolm (Proteus anguinus) ist ein dauernd in Larvenform in Höhlengewässern lebender europäischer Schwanzlurch und die einzige Art der Gattung Proteus. Diese Gattung bildet zusammen mit den nordamerikanischen die Familie der Olme (Proteidae). Ähnlichkeiten und konvergente Entwicklungen zum Grottenolm finden sich außerdem bei einigen höhlenbewohnenden Lungenlosen Salamandern, etwa dem Texanischen Brunnenmolch (Eurycea rathbuni).
