In [[computer programming]], '''negative cache''' is a [[cache (computing)|cache]] that also stores "negative" responses, i.e. failures. This means that a program remembers the result indicating a failure even after the cause has been corrected. Usually negative cache is a design choice, but it can also be a [[software bug]].
