Farmacia Serra is a building close to the plaza of Bayamón, Puerto Rico which was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989,[1] and on the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 2000.[2]

It was the first in a chain of Serra drugstores eventually opened by Luis Serra. He and his family lived upstairs.[3]

It was the site of tertulias, meetings "of the town's politicians and intellectuals to discuss the latest events and decide what action could be taken."[3]

It has "exhuberant [sic] ornamentation" in its "modernismo" or Romantic Eclectic architecture.[3]
