Kara (Hangul: 카라, sering ditulis KARA) adalah grup band penyanyi wanita asal Korea Selatan. Mereka terdiri dari Park Gyu Ri, Han Seung Yeon, Goo Ha Ra, Nicole, dan Kang Ji Young. Nama grup ini diambil dari bahasa Yunani, "chara" (χαρά, gembira) yang diartikan mereka sebagai melodi yang manis. Mereka berada dibawah naungan dari Daesung Entertainment (DSP).

Mereka debut pertama kali dalam acara M! Countdown, 29 Maret 2007, membawakan lagu "Break It" dari album perdana mereka, The First Blooming, dan dari album tersebut dibuat dua buah video clip (MV) yaitu "Break It" dan "If U Wanna".

Album kedua mereka dijadwalkan keluar pada Maret 2008, namun akhirnya dibatalkan. Karena salah seorang anggota, Kim Sunghee tiba-tiba mengundurkan diri. Ia gagal dalam tes masuk perguruan tinggi dan diminta kedua orang tuanya untuk berhent dari KARA akibatnya, album kedua mereka dibatalkan, dan DSP imulai membuka audisi untuk memilih anggota baru untuk menggantikan posisi SungHee.

Akhirnya, dari audisi tersebut terpilihlah dua anggota baru yaitu Goo Ha Ra dan Kang Ji Young. Dengan format baru KARA yang lebih fresh,lincah dan girly akhirnya KARA melakukan Re-debut di M! Countdown membawakan lagu "Rock U", pada 24 Juli 2008. Pada tanggal yang sama mereka me-releash mini album pertama mereka dengan format mereka yang terbaru "Rock U", pada 13 Oktober 2008 KARA me-releash "Good day season 2" beserta MV nya. Mini album KARA kedua "Pretty Girl" di releash pada 4 Desember 2008 single hits dari mini album ini adalah "Pretty Girl" dan "Honey" mini album KARA yang kedua ini sukses membawa nama KARA di dunia K-Pop dan lagu "Honey" untuk pertama kalinya berhasil merajai M! Countdown dan merupakan kemenangan pertama untuk KARA.
