Veruela, officially the Municipality of Veruela (; ), is a municipality in the province of Agusan del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 39,708 people.

==History== Veruela is considered the oldest town of upper Agusan del Sur. It is believed the name "Veruela" derives from the word "virus", as the area suffered from smallpox and cholera in the late 18th century when Spanish missionaries encountered the indigenous Manobo tribes.
