+description: |-
+  Get a Cloud Router within GCE.
+---
+
+# google\_compute\_router
+
+Get a router within GCE from its name and VPC.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+data "google_compute_router" "my-router" {
+  name   = "myrouter-us-east1"
+  network = "my-network"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (Required) The name of the router.
+
+* `network` - (Required) The VPC network on which this router lives.
+
+* `project` - (Optional) The ID of the project in which the resource 
+    belongs. If it is not provided, the provider project is used.
+
+* `region` - (Optional) The region this router has been created in. If
+    unspecified, this defaults to the region configured in the provider.
+
+
+## Attributes Reference
+
+See [google_compute_router](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/r/compute_router.html) resource for details of the available attributes.
