The Suhurlui River is a tributary of the Gerului River in Romania. Initially, it was a tributary of the Bârlădel, a secondary branch of the Siret River. After the embankment of the Siret plain, the resectioned course of the Bârladel became the lower reach the Gerului River, collecting most of the left tributaries of the lower reach of the Siret.

There are two rivers with similar names, Suhurlui and Suhului. Because of this similarity the names of the two rivers are often interchanged. The present article uses the names as indicated in the map.[1]
