Gerringong is a town south of Kiama on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The name derives from an Aboriginal word meaning "Fearful". Great fear was caused to natives there by the sight of Captain Cook's ship in full sail.

The Gerringong area was intially settled by the Cooke family arriving in Australia in 1843.

It is served by a CityRail diesel train, connecting with electric trains to Sydney at Kiama.
