You want a "body cap".

Specifically the Nikon BF-1A or BF-1B, or a generic equivalent.

It’s called a body cap. On Nikon DSLRs like the D5000, Nikon’s versions are commonly named BF-1A or BF-1B, and generic Nikon F-mount body caps are also available. A body cap protects the lens mount and helps keep dust out when no lens is attached.
