Villa de Cura or Villa de San Luis Rey de Cura (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbiʝa ðe san lwis rej ðe ˈkuɾa]) is the main town in the Zamora district of the Aragua state in Venezuela.

A small town, very dry between the months of October and April and rainy during the rest of the year, it is best known in Venezuela for being the cradle of one of the best all-male children choirs in the country, Niños Cantores de Villa de Cura (Villa de Cura Choirboys). The tiny town is also well known by its chicharrones and cachapas, all local foods.
