The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) is a national organization in the United States. As of 2015, it represented more than 900 colleges and universities.

It is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), non-partisan professional association founded in 1987 that supports and promotes high-quality mentored undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative inquiry. CUR defines undergraduate research as "a mentored investigation or creative inquiry conducted by undergraduates that seeks to make a scholarly or artistic contribution to knowledge". The activities and services of CUR are wide-ranging and include educational programming, consulting services, conferences, advocacy, and publications. CUR is staffed by an executive director, Lindsay Currie, and a team of association professionals based in Maryland.
