Ojitos de Santa Lucía is a town located in the northwestern region of the Mexican state of Zacatecas.

Later the natural springs stopped refilling with fresh water and are no longer in the town.

The word comes from the use of "Ojo de Agua", meaning lake or body of water.

The predominant Catholics renamed the town and added the "de Santa Lucía" at the end to honor their patron.

Ojitos de Santa Lucía was built by the indigenous Zacatecs of the area to keep the town of Juan Aldama, founded mostly by Tlaxcalan people who migrated from the south, from expanding furthermore into their territory.
