The commune lies on the Transylvanian Plateau, at an altitude of 466 m (1,529 ft). It is situated at the feet of the Călimani Mountains, at the point where the Mureș River exits a gorge beginning at Toplița. The Casele Creek flows in the town into the Mureș. Deda is located in the northeastern part of Mureș County, 25 km (16 mi) from the city of Reghin and 57 km (35 mi) from the county seat, Târgu Mureș.

The commune is crossed by national road DN15 (on this section, part of European route E578), which runs from Turda in Cluj County to Târgu Mureș and on to Bacău in Western Moldavia.
