The Cure - британская рок-группа, образованная в 1978 году. За время существования состав группы неоднократно менялся, её единственным постоянным участником остаётся фронтмен, вокалист, гитарист и автор песен Роберт Смит.
Группа возникла в конце 1970-х годов, во время бума постпанка и новой волны, пришедших в Великобритании на смену панк-року. Её дебютом стали сингл «Killing an Arab» и альбом Three Imaginary Boys (1979). В начале 1980-х годов The Cure записывали нигилистические, мрачные и наполненные трагизмом работы, которые сыграли важную роль в формировании готического рока. После выпуска Pornography (1982) дальнейшее существование группы было под вопросом, и Смит решил изменить её имидж. Начиная с сингла «Let’s Go to Bed» (1982) The Cure всё чаще стали записывать лёгкие, ориентированные на поп-сцену песни. B конце 1980-х годов благодаря серии удачных альбомов популярность The Cure росла, в том числе в США, где синглы «Lovesong», «Just Like Heaven» и «Friday I’m in Love» попали в Billboard Hot 100. К началу 1990-х годов The Cure стали одной из самых популярных групп в жанре альтернативного рока. По состоянию на 2004 год суммарные продажи всех альбомов составляли 27 миллионов копий. За более чем тридцать лет The Cure выпустили 13 студийных альбомов и 39 синглов.
