Enrico Verson (25 April 1845 in Padua – 15 February 1927 in Padua) was an Italian entomologist.

A physician, Verson worked initially at the experimental station of Gorizia before founding the second research station on the silkworm in the world, the Stazione Bacologica Sperimentale in 1871.[1] Verson made many observations on the biology of the silkworm and made anatomical discoveries such as the cells of Verson [1](apical cells of the genital apparatus of certain insects) and glands of Verson (glands of the exoskeleton (skin) of the caterpillars playing an important part in the moult).

He had a considerable influence on the Italian entomologists of his and the following generation like Antonio Berlese (1863–1927), Adolfo Targioni Tozzetti (1823–1902) and Filippo Silvestri (1873–1949).
