Villaseca de la Sagra is a municipality located in the province of Toledo, Castile-La Mancha, Spain. According to the 2006 census (INE), the municipality has a population of 1,581 inhabitants.
The village has a cultural centre with a library offering internet access and adult education classrooms. The sports centre offers a grass football pitch, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, a gymnasium and several sports courts. There is also a 35-bed retirement home.
The village's name is derived from "Villa d'Aceca", in turn from the Arabic السكّة (as-Sikka), "the causeway". It is therefore unrelated to the Latin sicca ("dry"), although the dryness of the area probably created a popular association.
