This is a bibliography of works on the Veternica cave. The most recent bibliography dedicated to Veternica was published in 2011, but the most comprehensive bibliographies were published in the 2023 edition of Speleolog, covering its evolution, history and archaeology. An even more extensive bibliography was produced by the Komisija za speleologiju HPS-a in 2021, but it remains unpublished.
