Suite PreCure (スイートプリキュア♪, Suīto PuriKyua♪, stylized as Suite PreCure♪) is a Japanese anime series and the eighth installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries. The series is produced by Toei Animation and directed by Munehisa Sakai, who directed the One Piece anime series. Character designs were done by Akira Takahashi, who previously worked on Kaidan Restaurant. The series aired on TV Asahi's ANN network between February 6, 2011, and January 29, 2012, replacing HeartCatch PreCure! in its time-slot, and was succeeded by Smile PreCure! A manga adaptation by Futago Kamikita was serialised in Kodansha's monthly Nakayoshi magazine.

The main topic of the series is music, the second to do so after HeartCatch PreCure! used it as a secondary theme, which influences the names of the Cures and the magical devices they use. Another theme is friendship, as emphasized by the relationship between Hibiki Hojo and Kanade Minamino.
