Dera is one of the 180 woredas in the Oromia Region of Ethiopia.

Part of the Semien Shewa Zone, Dera is bordered on the south by the Jamma River which separates it from Hidabu Abote and Wara Jarso, on the west, north and east by the Amhara Region; the Abay River defines the western boundary, and its tributary the Walaqa the northern.

The administrative center of Dera is Gundo Meskel. The woreda government announced March 2008 the completion of infrastructure improvements, which consisted of 77 kilometers of new road and an additional 366 kilometers renovated at the cost of 2.6 million Birr.
