CutieL (큐티엘) was a seven-member South Korean kids girl group under Big Star Entertainment, and later IONE Entertainment. They debuted as an 7-member group on December 17, 2010 with the digital single, "Christmas Carol".
In 2018, CutieL was to have entered its third generations of members under IONE Entertainment, however no further news came of their return and they are assumed to have disbanded sometime in 2018.
