Georgsdorf is a community in the district of Grafschaft Bentheim in Lower Saxony.

Georgsdorf lies north of Nordhorn on the Süd-Nord-Kanal (South-North Canal) and the Coevorden-Piccardie-Kanal. It belongs to the Joint Community (Samtgemeinde) of Neuenhaus, whose administrative seat is in the like-named town.

The honorary mayor was Willi Beckert, but he died in May 2007, and since then Johann Scholten has been the new mayor.
