Gereida (), also spelled Gerida or Graida, is a large town located in south-western Sudan at an altitude of above sea level. It lies about 100 km south of Nyala, and has a population of over one hundred thousand people.
As of 2006, Gereida was the largest camp for internally displaced people (IDPs) in Darfur, with an estimated 120,000 people. Due to an escalation of violence against civilians in the area, rapid growth led to potentially enormous health risks, with tens of thousands of people living in extremely basic, overcrowded conditions.
