The Gandil River is a 32 km long left tributary of the Bering River in southern Alaska (USA).

The Gandil River forms the outflow of Berg Lake , a glacial edge lake to the west of the Steller Glacier . The river flows mainly in a south-westerly direction. It flows through the Starodubtsov Lake , another glacial edge lake of the Steller Glacier. The Gandil River thus forms the main drain of the Steller Glacier. The river finally flows into the Bering River , about 20 km above its mouth in the Gulf of Alaska . The course of the Gandil River is in the far east of the Chugach National Forest .

The river name first appeared on a map by the Norris Peters Company in 1911.
