The Geru ({{IPA|ro|ˈd͡ʒeru}}) is a left tributary of the river Siret in Romania.{{GeoSource|RO|Annex7|1017}}{{GeoSource|RO|Atlas|429-430|XII.1.81a}} It discharges into the Siret near Independența. Its length is {{convert|62|km|abbr=on}} and its basin size is {{convert|755|km2|abbr=on}}.{{GeoSource|RO|Atlas|429-430|XII.1.81a}} Before the regularization of the lower course of the Siret, it was a tributary of the Bârlădel, a secondary branch of the Siret.{{cite web|url=http://apmgl.anpm.ro/documents/19877/32946552/Raport+anual+Rodlagero+2016.pdf/453ffe86-bf2b-466c-945e-3b67e398dd74 |title=Raport de Monitorizare Biodiversitate anul 2016 pentru punctul de lucru Independența|publisher=S.C. Rodlagero S.R.L.|page=10|language=ro}} Since the regularization works, the Geru discharges directly into the Siret, and the remaining course of the Bârladel collects the left Siret tributaries to the east of the Geru and the Suhu. The Geru flows through the villages Mândrești, Valea Mărului, Cudalbi, Costache Negri, Tudor Vladimirescu, Vameș, Piscu and Independența.
