Puerto Yeruá is a town and municipality in Concordia Department, Entre Ríos Province, Argentina. It is located 15 km (9 mi) from the city of Concordia.
To the west of Puerto Yeruá lies National Route 14, from which the town is accessed via a paved 17.5 km road. The town has access to various services in the neighboring city of Concordia, whose commercial center is 38 km away by road and connected by bus service. There is a detachment of the Argentine Naval Prefecture in the town.
The municipal boundaries of Puerto Yeruá are bordered to the west by the municipal boundaries of Estancia Grande, and to the south, the Yeruá Stream separates it from the rural population centers of Clodomiro Ledesma and Nueva Escocia. The Uruguay River lies to the north and east.
In the ravines overlooking the Uruguay River, there is a rocky outcrop of geological interest, which gave its name to the Puerto Yeruá Formation, dating from the Upper Cretaceous.
