Keroka is a town located in Kenya's Nyamira and Kisii counties. It is the largest town in Nyamira county after Nyamira Town.[citation needed]

Keroka is mainly inhabited by the Abagusii people and lies in the middle of Kisii-Sotik highway. It serves as a trading and administrative post, having started as a business centre at Nyabiemba near the border of the borabu settlement scheme. Keroka is the terminus for various national bus lines like Transline, Guardian Angel and Nyamira Express.[citation needed]

The majority of the town's inhabitants are Seventh Day Adventists. Several medical facilities, including Med-Stop Hospital, Keroka sub-county Hospital and Gucha Hospital are located in the town.[citation needed]
