Sutera is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Caltanissetta in the Italian region Sicily, located about 70 kilometres (43 mi) southeast of Palermo and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Caltanissetta. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy"). As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 1,649 and an area of 35.5 square kilometres (13.7 mi²).

Sutera borders the following municipalities: Acquaviva Platani, Bompensiere, Campofranco, Casteltermini, Milena, Mussomeli.

Sutera is twinned with the Borough of Broxbourne in England.

In the 21st century, after the population decreased because of the lack of work in the area, the town was transformed by the influx of asylum seekers which saved the local school and boosted the local economy.
