Can Peguera is a neighborhood in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain).

Developed in the early 20th century, it was originally established to provide affordable housing for workers, featuring single-story houses known as "cases barates" (cheap houses). These structures were built on land that once belonged to the Can Peguera farmhouse, giving the neighborhood its name.

The neighborhood's layout and architecture reflect Barcelona's working-class history, distinguishing it within the city's urban landscape.

The neighborhood's proximity to other areas like La Guineueta and Turó de la Peira provides opportunities to explore the broader Nou Barris district.
