Gera Midirna Keya Gebriel ("Gera Midir and Keya Gebriel") was one of the 105 woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. It is partly named after the northern district of the former province of Menz, Gera Meder.

The administrative center of this woreda was Mehal Meda; other towns include Zemero. It was divided for Menz Gera Midir and Menz Keya Gebreal woredas.

Elevations in Gera Midirna Keya Gebriel range between 1000 and 4000 meters above sea level. The highest point in this woreda, as well as the Zone, is Mount Abuye Meda (4012 meters) near the eastern border.
