  This paper aims to introduce the $k$-Mersenne and $k$-Mersenne-Lucas
octonions. We give the closed form formulae for these octonions and obtain some
well-known identities like Cassini's identity, d'Ocagne's identity, Catalan
identity, Vajda's identity and generating functions of them. As a consequence
k=1 yields all the above properties for Mersenne and Mersenne-Lucas octonions.
