La viola es un instrumento musical de cuerda frotada, similar en cuanto a materiales y construcción al violín pero de mayor tamaño y sonido más grave. Su tesitura se sitúa entre los graves y medios del violín y los agudos del violonchelo. La viola es considerada como el contralto o el tenor dramático de la familia de las cuerdas. Las cuerdas de la viola están afinadas en intervalos de quintas: do, sol, re, la (siendo el do la cuerda más grave). Al intérprete de este instrumento se lo denomina «viola» o «violista».
