Collina d'Oro (English: Gold Hill) is a municipality in the district of Lugano in the canton of Ticino in Switzerland. It was formed from the 2004 union of the villages of Agra, Gentilino, and Montagnola.

Montagnola was the home for over thirty years of the writer and Nobel Laureate Hermann Hesse until his death in 1962. He is buried in Montagnola's San Abbondio cemetery.

Lago di Muzzano is shared with the neighboring municipalities.
