Caci Melo adalah tari tradisional dari Manggarai, Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia yang kampung Melo, Desa Liang Ndara, Kecamatan Sanonggoang, Manggarai Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Tari ini dimainkan saat musim panen, upacara pembukaan lahan, dan upacara besar lainnya atau dipentaskan untuk menyambut tamu penting. Caci berasal dari kata "ca" dan "ci". Ca berarti satu dan Ci berarti uji. Tari ini bermakna pembuktian siapa yang benar siapa yang salah. Tari ini biasa dimainkan oleh sepasang lelaki berpakaian tradisional, dilengkapi dengan cambuk, giling (tameng), koret (penangkis), panggal (penutup kepala) dan iringan genderang. Penari Caci tidak hanya menari tetapi juga melecutkan cambuk ke lawan sembari berpantun dan bernyanyi. Tari Caci juga sekaligus merupakan medium pembuktian kekuatan seorang laki-laki Manggarai. 1
