The commune is located in the south-central part of the county, on the right back of the Siret River, next to the Răcăciuni dam and reservoir. The river Răcăciuni flows through the commune, reaching there the Siret.

On the eastern side of the commune is the Răcăciuni railway station, serving the Căile Ferate Române Line 500 that runs from Bucharest to Focșani, Bacău, and on north to the Ukrainian border.
