Pergusa is a small village in Sicily, Italy. It is a part of Enna in the province of Enna and sits in the hills about 10 km south of Enna, at around 710 meters above sea level. The Enna–Gela road provides access, with Enna about 5 km away before you reach the Palermo–Catania motorway. In 2006, about 1,600 people lived there.

Pergusa lends its name to Pergusa Lake, Sicily’s only natural lake, an important stop for migrating birds. The surrounding area is made up of hills and a forest called Selva Pergusina. Around the lake is the Autodromo di Pergusa, a racing circuit built in the 1960s that has hosted many sporting events.
