Berd (Russian: Бердь) is a river in Russia, right arm of the Ob River.

Length - 363 km (416 originally), water basin — 8,740 km²..

Annual water expenditure - 45,8 cubic meters per second. Iceforming in first weeks of November, icebreaking in middle April.

Naming, as thought, is from Turkic languages "berdu" ("birdu") with the meaning of "beru" or "taken".
