The GameCube – Game Boy Advance link cable (DOL-011) is a cable used to connect the Game Boy Advance (GBA) to the GameCube (GCN). The cable serves different functions with different games. These functions include, but are not limited to: unlocking additional content, turning the GBA into a second screen, turning the GBA into a separate controller, or transferring in-game items between related games. When used with the Game Boy Player accessory, the GBA can be used to control any Game Boy game played through the GameCube.

The cable has one end that plugs into a GameCube controller slot and another end that plugs into the GBA's extension port. The cable is compatible with the GameCube and the original Wii on the console side, and the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Player, and e-Reader on the portable side. Because the Game Boy Micro has a differently-shaped link port, the official cable does not work with it, but resourceful enthusiasts have been able to hack together home-made versions which do.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was the first GameCube game to use this link cable.

The following is a list of compatible GameCube games, with the corresponding Game Boy Advance (GBA) game or N/A if no GBA game is required.
