Pera is a genus of the flowering plant family Euphorbiaceae, first described as a genus in 1784. It is native to tropical America, from southern Mexico and the West Indies south as far as Paraguay.

Pera differs from other Euphorbiaceae in several characteristics and some classifications place it in its own family, Peraceae, rather than include Rafflesiaceae into the Euphorbiaceae.
