Gerra (Verzasca) is a part of the municipality of Cugnasco-Gerra in the district of Locarno in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland.

Gerra was an independent municipality until January 1, 2009, when it merged with Cugnasco to form Cugnasco-Gerra.

The exclaves were assigned to Gerra in 1920, when the scattered landholdings of Locarno, Minusio and Mergoscia in the Terricciole plains were separated from the cities.

Due to limited agricultural land, portions of the population has emigrated since the 17th Century.

In the late 20th and early 21st Centuries the population rose due to the development of Gerra Piano to an important local center.
