San Antonio de las Vueltas, also known as Vueltas, is a village and consejo popular ("people's council", i.e. hamlet) in central northern Cuba, belonging to the municipality of Camajuaní, Villa Clara Province.
In 1943 it was a municipality and contained the barrios of Aguada de Moya, Bosque, Cabecera (San Antonio de las Vueltas proper), Charco Hondo, Piedras, Quinta, Sagua la Chica, Taguayabón, Vega Alta and Vega de Palma.
