The Cure é uma banda de rock inglesa formada em 1976 em Crawley, Inglaterra. Robert Smith é o líder da banda e único elemento constante desde a sua formação, além de se manter responsável sozinho por sua direção musical, sendo produtor, cantor, compositor e multi-instrumentista.
Aclamados no final dos anos 1980 e princípio da década seguinte, com diversos álbuns que alcançaram grande exposição e popularidade, passaram a ser negligenciados pela imprensa na segunda metade dos anos 1990. Com a chegada do novo século, a banda foi reconhecida mundialmente como uma das mais influentes do rock alternativo moderno. Várias canções dos The Cure tornaram-se sucesso nas rádios, tais como Just Like Heaven, Close To Me, ou Friday I'm in Love, com indicações e ganhos em prémios, e o grupo havia vendido até 2004 mais de 30 milhões de cópias no mundo todo,com 1.1 milhão de vendas certificadas somente no Reino Unido, sendo uma das bandas alternativas de maior sucesso da história. Em Outubro de 2008 a revista britânica NME anuncia a atribuição do prémio 'Godlike Genius' à banda, em forma de reconhecimento pela contribuição para a música alternativa e pela sua extraordinária carreira.
