Protons accelerated to high energies in the relativistic shocks that generate gamma ray bursts photoproduce pions, and then neutrinos in situ. I show that ultra high energy neutrinos (>1019eV) are produced during the burst and the afterglow. A larger flux, also from bursts, is generated via photoproduction off CMBR photons in flight but is not correlated with currently observable bursts, appearing as a bright background. Temporal and directional coincidences with bursts detected by satellites can separate correlated neutrinos from the background, thusly helping to establish the origin of ultra high energy cosmic rays.
