Jehovah's Witnesses in Cuba are a community of 91 651 active Jehovah's Witnesses in Cuba (about 0,9 % of the citizens), belonging to 1250 congregations. In 2009, 213 993 persons (about 1.9 % of the residents) celebrated the Memorial of Christ's Death. There has been persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Cuba.

In 1994, the Cuban government freed representatives of the Watchtower Society. Adherents now could meet in groups counting upto 150 persons. In Cuba a Bethel was opened. Although this religious activity was not yet legally recognized, they were allowed to use the building formerly occupied, including Kingdom Halls as well as the printing of own publications. In 1996 more than 70 000 followerswere reported. In 1998, authorities agreed to large congresses in the largest Cuban cities. In that year there were more than 82 thousand spokesmen. And 10 years later more than 90 thousand. pl:Świadkowie Jehowy na Kubie]]
