Geerdijk is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Twenterand. It became a village in 2009.
== History == Geerdijk was founded in the mid-19th century along the canal Almelo–De Haandrik as a peat excavation village. It was a Catholic enclave which was settled by colonists from neighbouring Germany and the area around Slagharen and Dedemsvaart. In 1868, an independent parish was established.
