The National University of Education Enrique Guzmán y Valle (Spanish: Universidad Nacional de Educación Enrique Guzmán y Valle), often called La Cantuta, is a university in the Lima area of Peru.

During the early 1990s, the university was placed under military control after receiving information that Shining Path and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement were operating inside and indoctrinating the students.

On July 18, 1992, a professor and nine students from the university "disappeared" in what would come to be known as the La Cantuta massacre.

The bodies of the victims were eventually discovered, and members of Grupo Colina were jailed for their participation in the massacre.
