Gürgentepe is a small town and a mountainous district of Ordu Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey, 48 km (30 mi) inland from the city of Ordu.

Gürgentepe is a district of steep mountain valleys on the road between the cities of Ordu and Sivas, both transportation and agriculture are very difficult. The climate is typical of the Black Sea region with the north winds bringing humidity and much rain off the sea, although the inland side of the mountains have a dry climate. Most of the district is mountainside covered with forest and shrubs, trees including oak, chestnut and alder. The soil is volcanic, fertile and watered by mountain streams but most of the land is too steep for planting.
