Emilio Ferrera (born 19 June 1967) is a Belgian football manager and former player, who manages the U21 squad of Gent.

His last former club was OH Leuven in the Belgian First Division B. Before he also worked at Genk, where he was fired after coaching only one match, following a 1–3 season-opening defeat to KV Mechelen.{{cite news|title=1 game and gone: Genk fires coach very early|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2014/07/29/1-game-and-gone-genk-fires-coach-very-early/13307695/|publisher=usatoday.com|access-date=29 July 2014|date=29 July 2014}} Ferrera has managed a number of clubs across various countries and continents (mostly in Belgium, but also including Greece, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia and a short stint in Mexico), having started his coaching career in his twenties. For example, he led Club América ad interim in the 1995 Mexican football season aged only 27 at the time.
