thumb|250px|Location of biblical Geshur (top right area, east of the Sea of Galilee)
Geshur () was a territory in the ancient Levant mentioned in the early books of the Hebrew Bible and possibly in several other ancient sources, located in the region of the modern-day Golan Heights. Some scholars suggest it was established as an independent city-state during the early Iron Age from the middle of the tenth century BCE, maintaining its autonomy for about a century until it was annexed in the third quarter of the eighth century by Tiglath-Pileser III, the king of Assyria.
