Geesteren is a village in the eastern Netherlands, located in the municipality of Berkelland, Gelderland. It was hit by a small tornado 1988, which lifted the party tent that was set up to celebrate the 1000th anniversary of Geesteren and moved it two meters.

Geesteren was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with nearby Borculo.Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. {{cite web|url=http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr%3D20061061 |title=KNAW > Publicaties > Detailpagina |access-date=December 3, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070220041404/http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061 |archive-date=February 20, 2007 }}
