The 31-year-old striker has found first-team opportunities hard to come by since making his return to action in August from a broken leg which had sidelined him for eight months.
Villa has been linked with a move to the English capital in the New Year after being rumoured to be unhappy with his current situation at the Nou Camp.
The Blaugrana, though, are not about to entertain any offers for the Spain international, who has scored eight goals in 19 appearances for the club in all competitions this season.
Barca director of football Andoni Zubizarreta told Canal Plus: "In January we will keep Villa and it is important to remember that Barcelona is a club that habitually does not accept offers for star players in January.
"David is a player that brings goals and intensity to the team. Now he has recovered from a serious injury I believe that he is offering a good level on the field.
"It is normal that big players desire to play and this is perfect for the competition in the squad."
