The Stura del Monferrato (to distinguish it from other Piedmontese watercourses of the same name: the Stura di Lanzo, the Stura di Demonte and the Stura di Ovada) is a 40 km Italian stream, which runs through Murisengo, Cerrina Monferrato, Mombello Monferrato and Pontestura in the Italian Province of Alessandria.
A right tributary of the Po it flows entirely within the hilly region of northern Monferrato forming the valley known as the Val Cerrina.
Its mean discharge of a mere 2 m²/s relies immediately upon precipitation, and is subject to marked seasonal variations.
